Patina Chef Knife | The "Wallaby" Knife | G10 Handle

Handle

Introducing Koi Patina Knives. Designed for the professional kitchen, we have taken some of our favourite designs and reinforced them with G10 handles and forced patina finish. This improves their wear resistance, allowing the knives to take on some of the brutal challenges a commercial kitchen has in store.

The newest member of the Big Red family, The Wallaby is now joining our Industrial Collection. The smaller, more agile cousin to the Kangaroo, the Wallaby is designed to handle all the tasks in the kitchen. If you could have just one knife, we would suggest this one. With a 18.5cm cutting length and strong curves, it is a powerful allrounder that suits all cutting techniques, while maintaining a smaller profile.

The classic chef knife shape, with some handy improvements.

Description

Blade Length: 185mm (7.28") | Over All Length: 324mm (12.75") | Blade Thickness: 3mm (0.118") | Weight: 261g (9.20oz) | HRC: 60-62

VG10 high carbon Japanese steel construction with forced patina acid wash.

The high carbon content core ensures a razor-sharp cutting edge, clad with stainless steel for protection. We have opted for a forced patina finish where the knife will develop character over its lifetime, but will maintain its corrosion resistance.

G10 is a heavy duty composite material made from a fibreglass and resin laminate. It is used in tactical applications in the military like pistol grips and knife handles because of its hardwearing properties and indestructibility. It is a fantastic material for kitchen knives, where the feel and finish provides good grip even when wet or oily.
