{"title":"Bara Forge","description":"\u003cp\u003eBara Forge is the everyday forged line: six shapes and two sets, each blade hammer forged from layered steel around a \u003cstrong\u003e10Cr17MoV cutting core hardened to 60 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e, then fitted with a stabilized burl wood octagonal handle and a signature mosaic pin. No two handles share a grain pattern.

If you prefer a flatter Japanese profile, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bara-forge-9-gyoto\"\u003e9\" Gyuto\u003c\/a\u003e gives you extra length for slicing proteins, while the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bara-forge-9-kiritsuke\"\u003e9\" Kiritsuke\u003c\/a\u003e adds a reverse-tanto tip for precision work and a commanding look on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vegetable prep, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bara-forge-7-nakiri\"\u003e7\" Nakiri\u003c\/a\u003e has a straight edge that meets the board along its full length, so cabbage and onion fall apart in clean push cuts. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bara-forge-7-santoku\"\u003e7\" Santoku\u003c\/a\u003e is the shorter, lighter all-rounder for cooks who find an 8-inch chef knife unwieldy. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bara-forge-6-paring\"\u003e5\" Paring\u003c\/a\u003e handles everything in the hand: peeling, hulling, segmenting citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying more than one blade is cheaper as a set. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bara-forge-trinity-set\"\u003eTrinity Set\u003c\/a\u003e covers the three jobs that account for most prep — an 8-inch chef, a 7-inch nakiri and a 6-inch utility.

That is hard enough to hold a fine edge through weeks of prep, and stainless enough that a rinse and a dry is all the maintenance most cooks ever do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs burl wood durable enough for a kitchen handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBara Forge handles are stabilized burl, meaning the wood is resin-impregnated before shaping. It will not shrink, crack or swell the way raw hardwood does. Hand wash and dry it — never the dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Bara Forge different from our Damascus lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBara Forge is a forged working knife with a plain layered finish, not a patterned Damascus billet. If you want the visible pattern, look at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/damascus-knives\"\u003eDamascus knives\u003c\/a\u003e instead. If you want the sharpest possible blade at the lowest weight, this is the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Bara Forge knife comes with a \u003cstrong\u003e99-day home trial\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003efree lifetime guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e.
