Maillard Hand-Forged Damascus Steel 10" Slicing and Carving Knife - Walnut

Louis-Camille Maillard was a French chemist who discovered the chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars. Now this may not sound all that interesting but it is this chemical reaction that gives us the browning and delicious taste of seared steaks, fried food, cookies, bread and more. Now you’re interested, right?! Named after Maillard, the Maillard Reaction is responsible for many colors and flavors that we find when browning or searing food. The Maillard Reaction is also responsible for the malted barley found in malt whiskey and beer.

Our 10” Damascus steel slicing and carving knife has been named after Maillard and his contribution to science and delicious food. We chose to go with a 10” blade as many of the other slicing and carving knives on the market are unwieldy and difficult to use because they are so long. This gorgeous knife will be a show stopper at your next dinner party or backyard barbecue.

The Maillard can also be purchased in the Meat Lover’s Set, which also includes the Kodiak 8” chef knife and the Epicure 5” petty knife.
