The ebony wood handle is full tang, engineered for a secure, comfortable grip and balanced feel. Handcrafted for stability, it minimizes fatigue and supports precise control during long prep sessions.
Versatile kitchen performance
With an 8.27 inch blade, this knife excels at slicing, dicing, mincing, push-cutting, and rock-chopping across meat, seafood, vegetables, and fruit. The blade’s gradual thinning near the tip enhances versatility for a range of techniques.
