This Chef No. 14 series kitchen knife is the perfect combination of professional materials and modern design for true connoisseurs of handmade. The main working element is a blade made of X12MF steel, famous for its high hardness (61-62 HRC) and exceptional wear resistance. The blade's 222 mm length and 45 mm width make it versatile for most kitchen tasks, and the reduced thickness (1.6 mm) ensures a delicate and clean cut without splitting or crushing food
.
The shape of the blade, the Drop Point, guarantees excellent handling and versatility: lifting the butt line provides excellent control over the tip, which is important for precise cutting, chopping and milling.
The handle is made of bright blue acrylic, a material known for its moisture resistance, durability and resistance to aggressive detergents. This solution not only gives the knife an expressive individual style, but also ensures a comfortable, tenacious fit even in a wet hand, which significantly reduces the risk of slipping. The classic leather scabbard reliably protects the blade during storage.
