Know before you buy
Yes. Because this knife is made from high-carbon steel, it will oxidize if left wet. You must hand wash and thoroughly dry the blade immediately after every use to prevent rust and discoloration.
A hardness of 60° on the Rockwell scale means the steel is quite hard, which allows it to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time. While this makes the blade excellent for precise slicing, it also means you will need to use high-quality whetstones to sharpen it properly.
No. This knife features a thin blade specifically designed for precise, clean slicing of meats and vegetables. Using it on bones or frozen foods can cause the edge to chip or the blade to crack.
The resin impregnation process fills the natural pores of the wood, making the handle significantly more water-resistant and durable than standard wood. It provides the aesthetic warmth of natural wood while ensuring it won't warp or swell when exposed to moisture in a busy kitchen.
The Western-style bolster provides a weighted transition between the handle and the blade, which offers a familiar, balanced grip for those accustomed to European-style knives. It also acts as a finger guard, providing extra stability during repetitive slicing motions.
