Know before you buy
Swedish 14C28N steel is engineered for superior edge retention, allowing the blade to maintain its sharpness up to five times longer than standard German steel. This means you will spend less time sharpening and more time prepping.
Yes, the handle measures 5.5 inches, which provides a generous grip area. Combined with the knife's balanced weight, it is designed to feel secure and comfortable for a variety of hand sizes.
To preserve the integrity of the wood handle, it is best to hand wash the knife with mild soap and dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as high heat and moisture can damage the handle material over time.
NSF certification indicates that the knife meets rigorous standards for public health and safety, specifically regarding material quality and ease of cleaning. While often associated with professional kitchens, it serves as a reliable benchmark for durability and hygiene in any home environment.
The knife comes with a carbonized solid Ashwood magnetic sheath. Simply slide the blade into the sheath, where the internal magnets will hold it securely in place, protecting the edge from dulling and keeping your fingers safe when reaching into a drawer.
