The Chef's Knife
The K Sabatier Au Carbone line represents one of the purest expressions of French knife-making tradition. Every knife is forged from a single billet of carbon steel - tempered, ground, and polished crosswise to produce exceptional cutting power and balance. Carbon steel takes and holds a keener edge than most stainless alloys, making it a favourite among professional cooks who prioritise performance over low-maintenance convenience. The olive wood handle is a natural material that varies subtly from knife to knife, giving each piece its own character. At 150mm, this chef's knife is ideal for those who prefer a shorter, more agile blade for precision work - breaking down poultry, slicing vegetables, or fine-chopping aromatics.
Care & Maintenance
- Hand wash only - never dishwasher
- Dry immediately after washing - carbon steel will rust if left damp
- Expect patina: the blade will darken with use - this is normal and desirable
- Hone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the edge between sharpenings
- Sharpen with a whetstone when the edge dulls
- Olive wood handle: do not soak or leave damp - occasionally feed with food-safe oil to prevent warping
- Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block - avoid loose drawers
