You won't be able to match the quality, performance and passion of these knives with anything store bought. They are heirloom quality, extremely effective tools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blade is differentially quenched and tempered L6 high carbon steel. Which is to say, the spine is soft, flexible and durable, the edge is extremely hard. The result of this heat treating method is that you have a durable, springy blade with a killer edge that will last through a long period of use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is extremely light, with the balance slightly inclined towards the handle, making for a splendidly usable, easy to wield blade!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a hybrid grind, mainly flat with a light convex finish from spine to cutting edge. You can barely feel it passing through food \/ flesh and skin as you cut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI harden my knives using a computer controlled kiln. Using this tool allows me to get maximum edge retention out of a given piece\/type of steel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe handle of this knife has been carefully sculpted to fit the contours of a human hand. It is comfortable in a broad variety of grips. I especially ensured it is extremely comfortable in a pinch grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade also includes a custom fitted leather sheath. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnwards to Victory!\u003cbr\u003e-Ethan (Ha’Né) Kempf\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kempf Forge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45455872688188,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/8333\/1900\/files\/B6C6CD44-D4BF-497F-97E2-C34AD9CBADB7.jpg?v=1780262837","url":"https:\/\/kempfforge.com\/products\/available-edc-utility-chef-s-petty-knife-21","provider":"Kempf Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
