High-Carbon 1.4116 German Steel 8 Chef Kitchen Knife

Crafted from a single piece of high-carbon 1.4116 German steel, this durable kitchen workhorse allows you to effortlessly slice and dice piles of veggies or primal cuts of beef. The precision-forged blade is then tempered, taper-ground, and polished to achieve a terrifying level of sharpness. The full-tang ABS handle provides a balanced and comfortable grip, allowing you to cut with confidence. This versatile knife is perfect for heavy chopping and fine slicing, making it an ideal all-purpose tool for any kitchen. However, it is important to note that excess heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can damage or stain the blades, so it is not recommended to put them in the dishwasher. It is also advised not to allow the blades to soak in water or allow food to remain on the blade after use, as this may cause stains. Persistent stains can generally be easily removed with a standard stainless steel cleanser & polish. To maintain the sharpness of the knives, it is recommended to use a sharpener and honing rod between uses, and to have them professionally sharpened once or twice a year. Knives should be used on a wood or soft plastic cutting board to preserve their sharp edges, as hard surfaces such as countertops or glass cutting boards will dull the blades. The safety precautions for using these knives are also highlighted, with a warning to handle them with extreme caution to avoid injury, as they are extremely sharp. Knives should never be used as can openers, pry bars, screwdrivers, wedges, or hand tools, and they should never be handled by the blade. When laying a knife down, sharp edges should be pointed away from the user, and it is important to never attempt to catch a falling knife or to keep knives away from children. Proper storage in a knife block, roll, or other safe place is also recommended. Before the first use, any tags or stickers should be removed, and the knife should be rinsed with warm soapy water and towel dried. All of these care instructions will help to ensure that this high-quality knife lasts for years to come.
