Rackaphile 8" Sharp Chef's Knife, FDA and LFGB Approved, German High Carbon Stainless Steel Multipurpose Chef Knife with Ergonomic Handle and Gift Box Multicolor Description A knife is probably the only kitchen tool you must use every single time you prepare food. Even a stove can be optional—you can do without it to make a salad, say, or tartare, but a good chef’s knife is indispensable. Our Rackaphile 8” Chef’s Knife is your best choice. German high carbon stainless steel provides the blade with greatest sharpness and edge retention, making it sharp enough to make a clean and swift cut, anti-corrosion, anti-tarnish and less likely to be blunt even after using it for a long time. Features MULTIFUNCTIONAL KNIFE: designed to be multiple professional applications like cutting, dicing, slicing, chopping & mincing of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and many others; a perfect gift for home cooks or burgeoning chefs. SHARP EDGE: beveled on both sides, this knife is sharp enough to make a clean and swift cut; a gentle curve from the tip to the heel helps the knife smoothly rock back and forth during chopping and mincing. MAXIMUM EDGE RETENTION: German high carbon stainless steel provides the blade with greatest sharpness and edge retention, making it anti-corrosion, anti-tarnish and less likely to be blunt even after using it for a long time. ERGONOMIC HANDLE: easy to control and very nimble, this handle provides a secure grip even when wet, making knife safer and more efficient; the weight and the size of this chef knife feels quite balanced. PREMIUM QUALITY: FDA and LFGB approved; a special floral mosaic rivet and two plain rivets, embedded in the handle to keep it securely attached to the tang portion of the knife.
