High Quality, 100% European Made, Chef's Knife with a Full Tang, Ergonomic POM Medium Handle

• Medium sized handle - ideal for a person with a smaller hand.
• Advanced Measured Grinding (AMG) technology creates the perfect cutting edge on each blade for extremely long edge retention and exceptional sharpness. This new technique allows for optimal performance along the entire length of the blade.
• X50CrMoV15 – the ideal combination of high carbon stainless steel, containing the alloys; Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium; tempered and hardened to the ideal 57±º1 HRC is your assurance of a high quality blade, that needs very little maintenance to perform perfectly every time.
• Wider blade provides more knuckle clearance room and blade longevity.
• Polyoxymethylene (POM), has unique properties that make it ideal for knife handles. It can withstand virtually all solvents and has a high melting point. This means that it can be boiled and fully sanitized to meet all health and safety requirements. Under extremely high heat and pressure, the raw POM material and handle rivets are attached to the blade tang to create a secure bond between the blade and the handle. As a result, there are no gaps between the handle and the blade resulting in a perfect hygienic bond.
• The Ergonomic Design improves productivity and comfort, and helps reduce physical fatigue.
• Special stainless steel compression rivets do not rust. These rivets are secured to each other inside the handle; this also fully secures the two handle scales to the full tang.
• The full tang runs the length of the handle and provides the weight and balance demanded by professionals.

Purpose
Also known as a French or Cook's knife, the blade is curved to allow a rocking motion during usage to get a more precise cut.  This knife is the all purpose, "worker knife" in the kitchen, and is used for a variety of slicing, chopping, dicing and mincing tasks.  The 9" long blade has become very popular in recent years, as both professional and hobby chef's alike find it a more ideal length for a greater number of cutting tasks.
