That's a stainless steel knife that has been pattern welded and hammered.

>> No.9477527

It's kind of neat, but I think it would look better if the handle was darker. Does the patterning on the blade actually do anything, or is it just for looks?

>> No.9477562

cymbal hammered, pattern welded idiot fuckery is the best metal.

Thanks, guy. That used to be my work set, there's a few missing from it. An old Four Star bread knife and an off-brand paring knife.
I got tired of lugging all that shit around to work and back, so I bought a Wusthof Kiritsuke and use it for everything now.

I do need a new steel tho, never considered using the two stage on mine, and the rivets are getting loose now.
Anybody have a personal recommendation?

Fake Damascus is such bullshit to be quite honest. But I'm personally too much of a pussy to try and maintain better metal than stainless or a variation of stainless steel (Ginsan, VG10, et al).

Aogami and Blues are probably some of the most beautiful blades out there.

Food release.
The small divots provide enough air in-between the surface of the knife, and the produce to make the food easier to release

You live in Pittsburg and haven't ever touched a real piece of wood or metal, am I right? You just sound like the worst urban human piece of garbage that doesn't understand skill or any form of beauty.

No, it's for looks. The divots need to be much closer to the edge to have any practical effect. Look at Mac or Glestain blades for an example of how it's done
