Be a master of your kitchen with the Contemporary Series 8 Chef Knife from Calphalon®. Knife is perfect for everything from cutting large items like potatoes, to making smaller precise cuts, to using the side of the blade to break skin off of garlic. Blade edge of the Chef's Knife is gently curved from tip to heel for a gentle, even rocking and gliding motion as you cut. Full-tang design provides better balance and superior strength while cutting. One-piece forging of blade, bolster and tang for long-lasting durability. Ergonomic grip handle is uniquely contoured for one-size-fits-all comfort. High-carbon, no-stain German steel from tip to tang sharpens easier than ordinary stainless and maintains its edge longer. Blades are fully tapered from cutting edge to spine for greater cutting versatility. Fiberglass-reinforced polyresin handles are built to withstand years or cutting. Hand wash, towel dry.
