Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity and natural beauty of the olive wood handle, we recommend hand-washing the knife with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.
A full tang construction means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during heavy-duty tasks like chopping.
While the high-carbon German steel is designed to hold a sharp edge well, the frequency of sharpening depends on your usage. We recommend using a honing steel regularly to maintain the edge and a whetstone or professional sharpener whenever you notice a decrease in cutting efficiency.
Yes, the forged construction and high-carbon steel make this an excellent choice for demanding tasks like dicing vegetables or slicing through proteins. Its 8-inch length and balanced weight provide the leverage needed for consistent, professional-grade performance.
To keep the wood from drying out or cracking over time, it is a good practice to occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to the handle. This will help maintain the wood's luster and protect it from moisture.
