An absolute beast of a butcher, this 9.25”/ 235mm damascus blade is another in a long line of winners from Nate Zimmerman of Zim Knives out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The steel here is Nate’s own, a ladder pattern variant containing 350 layers of 1095 and 15n20, etched dark with a kurouchi finish. The handle is an eye catching combo of some intense dyed maple burl, capped off with nickel silver and g-10.
