Trade In Don Carlos Andrade 210mm French Chef CPM154 Linen Micarta G10

Trade in chef knife in unused condition with original custom sheath and fabric wrapping.

The powdered stainless steel blade is ground from a thicker spine with a strong distal taper. Ground like a workhorse with a tougher edge, the hamaguri grind lends a smooth cut. The handle is made from dark linen micarta with DCA trademark translucent G10 circle inlay.

This knife was made by well-known American knife maker Don Carlos Andrade out of Los Osos, CA. A former artist and chef, he learned blacksmithing from mentor and friend, Too Gai of Arizona and is known for his finely finished hand-forged blades using traditional techniques. Andrade operates California Custom Knives where he makes only 40-50 knives per year. He knives are coveted for their rarity and for being high-performers with a artistic finish.
