8" Daily Driver Chef - Distressed

Workhorse alert. This 8" chef is a perfect candidate to be the 'first knife' for someone trying to build a super high end kit. Nice and thin, this 52100 blade is heat treated to 64 HRC but with very nice toughness. Left with a distressed finish, it will age gracefully if kept clean and dry, and this knife will be one you can pass down.
