Named for Jupiter's third-largest and most volcanically active moon, "Io" is a chef knife featuring a centerpiece of highly figured maple burl representing that volcanic moon, flanked on either side by black walnut and domed silver tacks, which represent other distant, orbiting planets and moons.
The blade is differentially-hardened W2 tool steel with a lively hamon and a full-convex grind. The bolster is black Richlite phenolic composite. The handle is stabilized black walnut and big leaf maple burl with fine silver spacers and sterling silver tacks. A stainless steel nut adorns the butt of the handle and secures the numerous pieces of the knife in place.
Specs: 9.1" (232mm) from tip to heel, 14.4" (365mm) overall, 2.3" (58mm) wide at the heel, 8.8 oz. (249g)
