CHEF S KNIFE - Serious cooks rely on Carbon steel for blades that always perform at their best. With an extra-wide double bevel and a 15-degree edge, our intricate blade grind creates a crowned spine and a reinforced tip for razor-like performance.
BLADE WITH A PURPOSE - Our “Bunka” style chef s knife is designed with an aggressive stance for tip-down cutting. Its wide blade has a continuous rocker from tip to heel to produce an effortlessly smooth glide across a cutting board.
HIGH QUALITY - Crafted from Bohler K110 high carbon steel, these blades surpass stainless alloys in hardness and durability, maintaining their edge for extended periods. A ceramic stonewash finish enhances stain resistance and provides a unique look.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS - Hand wash and thoroughly dry. Avoid dishwasher. Clean immediately, especially after cutting salty or acidic foods like tomatoes and citrus. Regularly apply a light coat of mineral oil or cooking oil using a paper towel.
