Patina Utility Knife | The "Dingo" Knife | G10 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 Dingo knife is based on the Australian outback wild dog - the Dingo. This was the first knife we gave the industrial treatment too. We wanted to start with something all-purpose, tough wearing, with great profile. This knife has quickly become a favourite in our kitchens, and with the industrial adjustments its only getting better.
It has a long, thick blade making it suitable for most cutting tasks - an All-Purpose knife.
With extra heft toward the tip, like the Dingo's jaws on its prey, it delivers more power through this section of the cutting edge.
Description
Blade Length: 200mm (7.75") | Over All Length: 336mm (13.25") | Blade Thickness: 3mm (0.118") | Weight: 290g (10.22oz) | 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.
We produce durable, high-quality knives and products for both culinary and utility use.
