Aaron Mills 52100 Carbon Steel Chef Knife – Spalted Tamarind & Ebony Handle

This handcrafted chef knife by Denver bladesmith Aaron Mills is built for performance and longevity. Forged from 52100 high carbon steel—a ball-bearing steel prized for its fine grain structure and edge retention—the blade is heat-treated and quenched to a Rockwell hardness of 62.5 HRC. That makes for a tough, responsive edge that holds sharpness through heavy prep work.

Aaron applies a forced patina using mustard, giving the blade a head start on oxidation protection while adding a one-of-a-kind visual character. Over time, the steel will continue to develop its own patina, adding depth and personal history to the knife.

The handle is a sculpted hidden tang Western style, crafted from spalted tamarind stabilized in rich purple resin, accented with a sleek ebony ferrule. It offers a secure, ergonomic grip that’s both durable and eye-catching.

A full flat grind ensures smooth slicing through proteins and produce alike, with minimal resistance and clean cuts. Whether you're dicing, chopping, or slicing, this knife is designed to be your daily driver in the kitchen.
