7" Teton Edge Santoku - Maker's Mark: "Alpine Tarn"

Some tools are meant to be used and forgotten between meals. This isn't one of them. Alpine Tarn is part of a small Maker's Mark batch - a limited run of Teton Edge Santokus finished with a blue-green handle, named for the small glacial lakes that pool at elevation. Every piece carries its own pattern of mottling; no two resolve the same way. Once this batch is gone, it's gone. One knife maker fits the handle, hand-finishes the choil and spine, and sharpens the blade before it ever leaves Victor, Idaho. The blade itself is CPM S35VN, with the Teton range etched into it - a wide blade for transfer, a curved tip for rock-chopping, a flat heel for push-cutting. The knife that does everything, now doing it in a handle you won't find twice. A knife that performs like the rest of the line. A handle that makes it worth displaying.
