Overview
An 8 inch chef's knife made from 1.4116 high carbon stainless steel at 58 plus or minus 2 HRC, with a curved Pakkawood handle and a hand sharpened edge, packaged in a gift box with a sheath.
The steel hardness and the 8 to 12 degree per side edge angle are the two specs that actually govern how it cuts and how long it holds that edge, more so than the ergonomic handle shape, which mainly affects grip comfort over long prep sessions.
- 1.4116 high carbon stainless steel at 58 plus or minus 2 HRC
- Hand sharpened 8 to 12 degree edge per side
- Curved Pakkawood handle with sloped bolster
- Gift box and protective sheath included
Who it's for
Suited to home cooks who want one reliable everyday chef's knife for chopping, mincing and slicing, and to anyone buying it as a packaged gift since it ships gift boxed with a sheath.
Pros and cons
- High carbon steel holds an edge through repeated use
- Curved Pakkawood handle supports a secure pinch grip
- Hand sharpened edge for fine, precise cuts
- Ships gift boxed with a protective sheath
- Sold as a single knife, not a set
- High carbon steel like this usually wants hand washing
Performance notes
58 HRC steel sits on the harder end for kitchen knives, which is what lets a hand sharpened 8 to 12 degree edge stay sharp through repeated chopping and mincing instead of rolling over quickly, at the usual tradeoff of needing more careful sharpening technique when it does dull.
