Know before you buy
CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel blend that allows the blade to be sharpened to a finer, more acute angle. This composition provides excellent edge retention while remaining resistant to rust and corrosion.
Because of the unique convex grind, it is best to use a whetstone or a professional sharpening service to maintain the blade's geometry. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can damage the specific edge profile.
Yes, the handle is designed with a signature dimple pattern that provides a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet. The hollow, sand-filled construction also ensures the knife is lightweight and perfectly balanced to reduce wrist fatigue.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High heat and harsh detergents can damage the blade's edge and the integrity of the handle; we recommend hand-washing and drying it immediately after use.
The seamless bond between the blade and handle eliminates gaps where food particles and bacteria typically collect. This makes the knife exceptionally hygienic and much easier to clean thoroughly.
A 9.5-inch blade is a professional-grade length that offers more surface area for large tasks like slicing melons or breaking down proteins. If you have limited counter space or prefer a more agile tool, you may find a shorter blade easier to maneuver, but this length is excellent for those who want maximum versatility.
