This centuries-old forging technique ensures that the edge remains incredibly sharp through countless hours of rigorous kitchen prep.
The G10 handle is impervious to heat, cold, and moisture, making it the ideal choice for professional kitchens where durability is paramount. The ergonomic shape is designed for a perfect pinch grip, reducing fatigue during extended chopping sessions.

Hand Wash Only
Never place your knife in the dishwasher. Wash immediately after use with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
-
Dry Completely
Ensure the blade is thoroughly dry before storing. Moisture on high-performance steel can lead to staining or oxidation.
-
Proper Cutting Surface
Always cut on wooden or plastic boards. Avoid slate, glass, marble, or granite counters as they dull the edge instantly.
-
Regular Honing
Hone the edge regularly with a ceramic rod and sharpen using fine grit whetstones to maintain its razor sharpness.
