6" Chef W6- 2403
DHF 6 inch Western Chef - Vault Alert! From Jp’s vault. G-Carta Navajo blanket scales with stacked G10 liners and hand peened copper hardware -
G-Carta is a type of custom made Micarta material. Instead of using new fabric to create the compression load these scales used vintage Navajo blanket materials. This particular set of scales has been here a long time because it reminds me of the 69 Chevy pickup i drove in college. Navajo blanket, literally off my ranch saddle pad stack, draped over that cracked old truck seat! Loved that truck!

Lightweight and extremely agile in hand. Built for the Home Chef and the Line Chef with respect to work area size limitations such as speed rails and smaller home cutting board footprints. Increased blade height allows the knuckle clearance one would expect to find in longer, lighter and larger knives.
AEB-L HC stainless steel allows DHF to design the blade with both high Rockwell hardness abilities and corrosion resistance. This gives the user high performance without the additional maintenance required from pure carbon steel. AEB-L is arguably the nicest culinary stainless steel available today.
Blade Length - 6.5"
Blade Height at heel - 2"
Over all length - 10.75"
Blade angle - 18 degrees
Blade Geometry - 2.5 mm thick at spine - full distal taper - full flat grind - full tapered tang - rolled spine and heel
Steel Type - AISI AEB-L HCS at 61 HRC . Professionally heat treated and cryod between temper cycles for maximum grain refinement and edge retention.
