- Antique Westinghouse canvas Micarta
 
This handcrafted Santoku is was built from in house forged 75-layer Damascus, and paired with antique Westinghouse canvas Micarta. 
These knives are built for performance, the tall heel gives the hand plenty of finger clearance on a cutting board, as well as allowing for a very thin edge. The aggressive distal taper and convexing in the top half of the bevel greatly reduce the friction of the cut. The spine and finger choil of each knife are fully rounded out, a feature almost always overlooked in production knifemaking, but one of the most important part of building a professional quality kitchen knife.
The deep etched and polished Damascus blade will develop an excellent and colorful patina, each steel shows the color differently, and this finish is slightly easier to clean than a  high contrast finish.
The antique Westinghouse Canvas Micarta came from the Bonner timber mill, and had developed an incredible patina in its 100+ years, we were able to preserve some of that in the spines of each knife. Each knife has a rock textured top of the handle and a smooth polish down below, the shape of the handle, the sculpting, and the texture all work together to create a grip that locks your hand into the knife, and gives excellent control for any kitchen cutting task. The Micarta has an incredible amount of character, spots and flecks, even a factory misplaced single sheet of linen help shows the age of this incredible piece of material.
Note: Each knife will receive the Stelter MFG signature “S” mark before shipping, our laser guy was out of town this week.
Like all Stelter MFG Santokus, this blade is built for balance, precision, and everyday utility. The flatter edge and taller profile are ideal for fast, clean chopping, while the compact form offers comfort and control in any kitchen.
 
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, and no two will ever be exactly alike.
