Florid iron clad utility knife

Part of the premium Taylor knife collection
This ultra light hand forged chef knife is made from Sheffield 80CrV2 steel clad with wrought iron salvaged from a historic cart wheel. it is paired with the best prime English Burr elm handle tapered for ergonomics, adorned with a chamfered brass cap for a comfortable pinch grip technique.
the blade is very thin and tapered thinner to the end, with a gradual convex grind on the back and half flat half convex on the front to assist with food release. This is then meticulously hand polished on natural British whetstones for a natural mirror finish that shows the contrast of the soft wrought iron and hard Sheffield steel. 
The knife is adorned with a original design of  florid interloping scrollwork that is meticulously engraved by hand. 
Please note that the wrought iron cladding oxidizes very quickly so requires extra care to keep the mirror polish, rust and marking can be avoided by cleaning right after use, not cutting high acidic foods like lemons and limes and kept dry when not in use and coated with food grade oil when not in use for extended period of time.
