Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the sharpness of the blade and the integrity of the handle material.
The Fibrox TPE handle is specifically designed for a secure, non-slip grip, even when your hands are wet or greasy. This makes it a reliable choice for fast-paced kitchen environments.
Because the proprietary Swiss steel is relatively soft with a Rockwell hardness of 56, it responds very well to regular honing. Using a honing rod before or after each use will help keep the edge aligned and sharp for longer.
The 8-inch blade is designed to be rigid, providing the stability needed for chopping, dicing, and mincing. It is not a flexible fillet knife, but rather a sturdy all-purpose tool.
NSF certification indicates that the knife meets rigorous standards for safety, material quality, and sanitation. While often required for professional kitchens, it provides home cooks with assurance that the materials are food-safe and built to withstand frequent cleaning.
Yes, the materials used in this knife are resistant to sterilization temperatures up to 230° F. This is a standard feature for professional-grade tools that require frequent, high-heat sanitation.
