Built for detail work and smaller general jobs, this one doesn't just look great with that translucent resin section, it also performs. The colouring on this one is a great base for a natural patina. The stainless cladding will stay pristine while the cutting edge gracefully ages showing character as it builds layers of blue red and grey.

80crv2 is a tough steel so you don’t have to be too worried about chipping it despite the thin edge although high quality knives should always be treated with respect. Like most carbon steels, it is easy to sharpen and keep a hair-popping edge.
