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, 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. Dirty wrought iron claddings are very reactive.
My handles are made from local, untreated, un-stabilised wood. I use linseed oil and bees wax to protect them. The color, may change with use.
The knife's bevels are ground using whetstones. This allow an easy maintenance at home. For Sharpening service please contact Scott from www.sheffieldknifesharpening.com
