Know before you buy
Cromova 18 is a proprietary alloy that allows the blade to be sharpened to a very fine edge while maintaining excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. It is specifically formulated to hold a sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the sharpness of the blade and the integrity of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.
The hollow handle is precision-weighted to ensure the knife feels perfectly balanced in your hand. This design reduces overall weight, making the knife feel nimble and near-weightless during repetitive tasks like peeling or trimming.
This size is ideal for intricate, small-scale tasks such as peeling fruits, hulling strawberries, deveining shrimp, or mincing small aromatics like garlic. Its compact blade offers the control needed for detailed work that a larger chef's knife cannot handle.
This rating indicates the blade is hardened to a point that balances edge retention with durability. It is hard enough to stay sharp through frequent use, yet resilient enough to avoid chipping during standard kitchen tasks.
