Product Description Representing a fusion of form and function, this 8” chef’s knife was deliberately designed for those who often find a traditional 8” chef’s knife to be cumbersome or intimidating. The unique blade shape, tapered tang (for tremendous balance) and super thin blade grind (to cut through any food just like butter) will make this knife come alive in any kitchen. And just as important, the beautiful Fusionwood handle (handcrafted by artisans in Vermont) feels great in your hand. Premium high-carbon stainless tool steel is machined to give a precision sharp edge that stays sharp and is easy to sharpen. Features Handles are created from select hardwood veneers that are vacuum-impregnated with advanced penetrating dyes and engineering-grade phenolic resins. Full-tang machined blade made from high-carbon, chromium (for stain resistance), stainless tool steel for superior edge holding.
