Purchase your chance to own this priceless American chestnut chef’s knife for just $25

TACF is offering not one, but two chances to win an extremely rare, Antique River Logs® handcrafted Kasumi® Damascus chef knife!

Lost and resting on the bottom of the Green River in Kentucky for over 120 years, a rare, old-growth American chestnut timber was preserved by deep cold water and a lack of oxygen and light. This exceptional river log was reclaimed by Antique River Logs, an organization dedicated to honoring a deep family connection to the natural beauty and rich cultural history of southern Kentucky and the rivers they called home for over five generations.

Kasumi Damascus chef's knives are a prized and unique possession. Crafted with precision and reverence, each knife is a testament to craftsmanship at its finest. The blade is characterized by its organic geometry, watermark pattern, and razor-sharp 15-degree cutting edge, forged from 33 layers of Japanese Kasumi steel.

Learn more about the extraordinary story of Antique River Logs and their passion to preserve this uniquely American treasure at antiqueriverlogs.com

Each chef’s knife is valued at over $1200.00. All proceeds benefit The American Chestnut Foundation.
