EXTRA THIN BLADES - Our thinnest 2.0mm blades have maximum sharpness and reduced wedging when cutting through firm foods. Razor-like design allows extremely precise cuts for fine brunoise or chiffonade. Super lightweight feel reduces arm fatigue. STAIN-RESISTANT MOLYBDENUM ALLOY - Allows our craftsmen to create one of the sharpest out-of-the-box edges of any brand. Allows thinner blades for less wedging into cuts. Holds an edge longer than most other steels. Resists staining, rusting, and corrosion when properly cleaned and dried. PAKKA WOOD HANDLES - Has the feel of wood, but with durability similar to plastic. Comfortable for most users whether left or right-handed. Traditional Western-style straight handle design. STOCK REMOVAL CONSTRUCTION - Thin blades are first stamped from 2.0mm sheets to create the basic shape of the blade. Then, they are completely tapered from spine to edge, which allows the knife to easily cut through hard or dense foods such as carrots and apples.
