- Rosewood Handle: An ergonomic, balanced grip supports long prep sessions, offering solid resistance to cold, heat, corrosion, and humidity for lasting comfort.
- Ultra Sharp Blade: 2.5 mm thick, double-bevel edge sharpened to 12–15 degrees per side, enabling fast, clean slices of lettuce, cabbage, and greens.
