Crafted by the skilled hands of Joel Davey, this paring knife is a true masterpiece. Made from 26c3 high carbon steel, the blade boasts a contrasting polished bevel with a textured and acid finish, giving it a distinctive appearance. The knife measures 267mm in overall length, with a 138mm blade that stands at 35mm at the heel.
The blade has a thickness of 1.5mm at the heel, tapering down to an incredibly sharp 0.5mm edge. The S grind has been sharpened to a precise 17-degree angle, making it perfect for precise cuts. With a hardness of 63-64 HRC, this paring knife is built to withstand even the toughest kitchen tasks.
The handle is made from Jarrah wood, with a copper spacer and pin adding a touch of elegance to the design. Weighing only 94g, this paring knife is lightweight and well-balanced, making it a pleasure to use.
Joel is a knife maker based in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. With a passion for crafting high-quality knives, he has been making knives for the past 3 years. He specializes in hand-forged chef knives, but also enjoys experimenting with different styles such as daggers to challenge himself. Despite only being in the craft for a short time, he is currently awaiting assessment for the knife-making guild.
One of the things that sets Joel's knives apart is his attention to detail and the materials he chooses to work with. He has a particular fondness for working with 52100 steel, which he finds to be a challenging but rewarding steel to work with. He also enjoys pattern welding, using the classic combination of 1084/15n20 to create bold Damascus patterns.
When asked about his favourite piece he's ever made, Joel had a difficult time choosing just one. He mentioned that it was a toss-up between his Integral French Sabatier and his latest low layer Damascus San Mai knife with faceted handle pieces. Both pieces showcase his skill and attention to detail, making them stand out among his other creations.
Joel is a full-time knife maker, dedicating all of his time and energy to perfecting his craft. He may not have won any awards as of yet, but with his passion and dedication to knife-making, it's only a matter of time before he is recognized for his exceptional craftsmanship.
