Gidgee Set Of 4 Chef Knives
Gidgee Set Of 4 Chef Knives
Im calling this set the “Makers Choice” set, the handles are all made from gidgee timber with copper but are different shapes and styles, they are what I like to use in the kitchen , what feels good in my hand, so I have gone for ergonomics rather than making them look the same.
A beautiful set of 4 unique knives to tackle all of the jobs in the kitchen.
Hand forged from recycled sawmill blades with gidgee timber handles, brass pins and spacers
This set consists of ;
Chef knife - blade length; 210mm (8 1/4 inches) overall length, 350mm width of blade at heel; 47mm thickness of spine at handle; 3 tapering to less than 1mm , weight; 225 Balance; good
Nakiri style chef knife - blade length; 135mm (5 1/4 inches ) overall length, 285 mm width of blade at heel; 52mm thickness of spine averages about 3mm , weight; 206 gm Balance; good . the blade has a concave S -Grind to help with food release. Being such a thin blade its designed for up and down cutting of softer materials so please go easy with sideways pressure such as may occur when breaking open a pumpkin.
Small Chef Knife - blade length; 145mm (5 1/2 inches) overall length, 260mm width of blade at heel; 41mm thickness of spine at handle; 3 tapering to less than 1mm , weight; 144gm Balance; good

Please read the care instruction page before purchase. Being made from old saws this is carbon steel ( AKA black steel) , not stainless steel so will tarnish and develop a patina with time and may rust if not cared for. Thank you.
All chef knives come with complementary tin of DBK Knife Wax , a blend of and food grade parrafin oil and pure bees wax , to help keep the handle and steel in good condition.
