Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the blade and handle, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.
The offset handle is specifically designed to keep your knuckles elevated above the cutting surface. This provides extra clearance, allowing you to chop and mince comfortably without your hand hitting the cutting board.
A hollow ground blade features a concave shape that reduces friction as you cut. This allows the knife to glide through ingredients more easily and helps the blade retain its razor-sharp edge for a longer period.
Yes, the T420 high-carbon stainless steel is designed for easy at-home maintenance. Because of the blade's geometry, it responds well to standard sharpening tools, allowing you to keep it in peak condition.
The primary difference is aesthetic and tactile. The silver satin handle is made of aluminum, offering a classic, metallic look, while the black resin handle provides a more traditional, grippy feel in the hand.
