TAS Knives Fixed Blade: Butcherling Rough - Acidwashed/Titanium
The Butcherling from TAS Knives is a toned down kitchen cleaver fit for a cosmic chef. The chunky cleaver-style blade makes it an excellent chopper, yet is thin enough behind the edge for it to excel at a variety of cutting tasks. The blade has been given an acid washed finish and features a hole to hang this little guy up when not in use. The stepped three layered titanium handle features milled details and with the jimping in key areas, provides a comfortable and secure grip. Judging by the finish, it looks like it was made from the wreckage of the Death Star itself. The butt-end features a lanyard hole and pry bar. Comes with a kydex sheath ready for your preferred mounting solution
The Blade: Hand compound ground cleaver profile with an acid washed tumbled finish and textured flats.
The Handle: Three contoured slabs of titanium that have been given milled details and a special coating that aids in durability as well as giving it a distressed look.
TAS Knives are hand crafted by designer and maker Soso Tumasov from Tbilisi, Georgia (as in the country Georgia not the state). Many of Soso's pieces have an unique almost cyberpunk, futuristic apocalypse vibe to them, setting them apart from most of the blades you see on the market today. On top of the killer aesthetics, he also incorporates complex multi angle grind lines in his blades that truly show off his talent and dedication to the craft and is amazing at finishing common knife making materials such as titanium in a very innovative manner for an end result that stands out and execution that actually delivers.
