A scalloped and serrated section near the bolster adds versatility, offering extra bite when cutting through tougher-skinned ingredients.

The V2’s 5.5-inch handle is crafted from durable black polymer, contoured to fit naturally in the hand. A full bolster adds balance and safety, helping protect your fingers during rapid prep work while contributing to the knife’s solid, confident feel. The knife’s seamless design makes it easy to clean and maintain, while the sleek profile complements both modern and traditional kitchen aesthetics.
