Know before you buy
The Granton edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the steel and the food. This design significantly reduces friction and prevents thin slices of vegetables or meat from sticking to the side of the blade while you chop.
No, this knife is designed for precision vegetable prep and slicing boneless meats. Using it on bones or frozen foods can chip the high-performance CROMOVA 18 steel edge.
This knife is not dishwasher safe, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the blade and handle. Hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately to maintain the integrity of the steel.
The handle is made from a single piece of stainless steel and is sand-filled to achieve a perfectly balanced weight. This seamless, all-metal construction is more hygienic than wood, as it eliminates crevices where bacteria can collect.
The CROMOVA 18 stainless steel is ice-tempered to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time. With regular use and proper storage, you should only need to hone the blade occasionally and sharpen it professionally or with a compatible whetstone once or twice a year.
