Story

Wanchana Knives are not only stylish, but also extremely functional. The s-ground 52100 stainless steel blade (S-Grind) is incredibly sharp, and tapers to the tip of the 9"" blade, providing flexibility and maneuverability when separating cuts from the face of the blade.

The knife is also feather-light in the handle, which is carved from stabilized Siamese Rosewood in Wanchana's signature style, and is extremely comfortable to hold. The polished then darkened steel bolster and black oxidized finish on the blade are the perfect contrast to the rosewood handle, completed by a fully disassembled narrowing tang that threads into the intricate pommel.

A truly masterpiece of Thai craftship and ingenuity worthy of the inspired Japanese makers Shigefusa, Takeda, Kohetsu. These Japanese makers are well known for their hand-forged knives, which feature wide hollows or "s-grinds" in the blade. This makes them ideal for a variety of tasks, from slicing and dicing to chopping and mincing. Plus, the added hollows make for easier sharpening and a longer-lasting edge.

So why wait? Get your hands on a custom Wanchana S-Grind knife by placing a custom order and allowing approximately 4-8 weeks for the artist to complete this stunning culinary tool.
