Trail Chef - Bloodwood
The Trail Chef can be summed up in two words: just enough.
Excellent balance, functional lines, and efficient execution characterize this knife. Its medium length blade is just long and wide enough to slice tomatoes, onions, peppers, or pineapples with ease while not sacrificing valuable pack space. Its handle is contoured and just the right size for comfort and utility in hand, while not creating unnecessary weight when every ounce counts. Its tall flat grind angle leads to a wicked sharp edge that slices with ease. Rocker chopping of herbs or spring onions is a complete pleasure due to the Trail Chef’s forward oriented belly.
The materials, form, and finish of this knife sacrifice none of the luxuries that an experienced chef would demand from high performance kitchen tools.

The Trail Chef is sharpened at a 18-degree edge, providing excellent sharpness and great slicing without sacrificing durability.
The Trail Chef utilizes 1095 High Carbon steel in the tradition of high quality American cutlery.
The blade has been hardened to 59RC to provide a fine edge that is easy to bring to razor sharpness, while not being too brittle for medium duty chopping during food prep.
The natural Bloodwood handle has been highly polished and finished with multiple coats of sealer to emphasize the wood’s natural figure and resist moisture and wear.
