Shipyard Chef

I present to you the "Shipyard" Chef.  Handmade from AEBL Stainless steel with a phenominal heat treat found only here at Pirate Forge.  The blade features full flat grinds, engraved shipwreck grail mark (skull and bones over a ship anchor), satin finish, and a razor sharp polished edge.  Now lets talk about the handle... This is where it gets special. It is made from Vintage Westinghouse LE Micarta that was sourced from an old shipyard in Louisiana. The Avondale Shipyard to be exact.  Westinghouse is well known for making the highest quality of micarta known to man starting back in the 1920's!  This Westinghouse Micarta is also special because its "LE" Micarta!  LE Micarta was specially made for marine use applications.  WEstinghouse no longer makes micarta.  There is only a limited amount of this stuff left in the world. It is highly desired and not cheap when you find some for sale.  I was able to obtain a good bit of this exclusive material to be used here at the Forge.  The handle material being around 100 years old has visible dark oxidation spots just adding to the mystic.  The LE Micarta is paired with a set of high polished brass pins.  This one of a kind culinary blade comes with a one of a kind sheath.  The Sheath is made from heavy veg tanned leather and featues ornate hand tooling, black stitching, hammered copper rivets, gator hide embossed leather/gun metal snap retention snap, and a antiqued stained finish.
