Crafted with an 8-inch VG-MAX stainless steel blade, this knife exemplifies quality and durability while delivering outstanding sharpness and effortless control. Its plain edge and polished finish are a tribute to traditional craftsmanship, resulting in a blade that cuts smoothly, minimizing friction and allowing food to glide off with ease.
This chef’s knife is a perfect balance of strength and elegance, built with a full tang for exceptional stability and durability. The full tang construction means the blade runs solidly through the handle, offering a harmonious weight distribution that helps reduce fatigue during long periods of preparation. At 13.4 inches overall, the knife provides ample length for any slicing, chopping, or dicing task, while the .09-inch blade thickness ensures it remains nimble enough for delicate work without sacrificing the robustness needed for heavier duties.
A standout feature of this knife is its ebony-finished Pakkawood handle. Elegantly dark and rich with natural character, the handle is not only visually striking but also ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Pakkawood combines the timeless beauty of wood with modern durability, resisting moisture and wear to maintain its refined appearance over years of use. The ebony finish adds a touch of sophistication, perfectly complementing the polished steel blade and creating a striking aesthetic that brings both style and substance into your kitchen.
