ULTRA-PREMIUM MATERIALS: Each Sasaki knife is produced utilizing cutting edge breakthrough technology and is precision forged from world famous 67 layered Japanese AUS-10 Steel. This incredibly durable stain and corrosion resistant material delivers incomparable performance. The addition of Molybdenum and Vanadium in AUS-10 steel dramatically increases wear resistance and edge retention.
EXPERTLY CRAFTED BLADE: Each knife is expertly crafted using a traditional multi step process. First the blade is heated to over 1900 degrees F, and liquid nitrogen cooled to harden the steel to over 62 Rockwell hardness. Each blade is then tempered at 600 degrees F for two hours to reduce brittleness. The result is a perfect blade that is hand ground by a senior master cutler to be incredibly razor sharp.
EXPERTLY CRAFTED HANDLE: The blade is hand mated to a full tang, triple riveted non-porous fiberglass handle which is exceptionally durable and provides a perfect weight balance.
CHEF KNIFE THAT’S DISTINCTLY DESIGNED: The Sasaki Chef knife places all the power in your hands with an edge that’s sharpened at a 10°-15° per side, ensuring a razor sharp blade edge. The long, wide blade of the chef knife is specifically designed with a curved edge, so it rocks back and forth on a cutting surface (preferred by professional cooks). Whether you need to mince herbs, finely chop vegetables, slice fruit, or cut meat, the chef knife is the ultimate multipurpose tool.
PROTECTIVE, LOCKING SHEATH: A premium quality locking sheath is provided to protect the blade when it is not in use.
