Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the wood handle and the sharpness of the blade, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.
The 8.5-inch length is a versatile standard for a chef's knife, offering enough surface area for chopping large vegetables while remaining nimble enough for detailed slicing and carving tasks.
Forged construction typically provides a more durable, well-balanced knife with a bolster that adds weight and stability. This design helps the knife feel substantial in your hand, allowing for more controlled and precise cuts.
Because the handle is made of natural wood, it is best to avoid soaking it in water. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil can help keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out or cracking over time.
Yes, the knife is designed to be lightweight at 123 grams and features an ergonomic shape, which makes it comfortable and easy to maneuver for a wide variety of hand sizes.
