Allow me a couple of days to sharpen and send the knife to you. If any question or requirement, just message me at hello@simonmaillet.com.
My blades are made from carbon steel not stainless steel as it gives my knives an unbeatable sharpness. I prefer carbon steel for it ease to sharpen, the fine edge it takes and the beautiful patina that will develop. You do, however, need to give carbon steel knives just a little extra care to keep them in top shape. There are trade-offs in everything. Claddings stated as "dirty wrought iron" will be more reactive.
My handles are made from local, untreated, un-stabilised wood. I use oil and varnish to protect them. The color, may change with use.
