They reduce surface contact, prevent food from sticking, and make long slicing strokes through proteins, vegetables, and bread feel almost effortless. At 250mm, this vintage French chef knife has the reach for serious prep work: breaking down large cuts of meat, slicing roasts, or working through a pile of vegetables with long, confident strokes. The stainless steel construction has aged well, and the scalloped profile remains crisp. A full-size French chef knife with this feature set is increasingly hard to find in vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to protect the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a smooth honing rod to maintain the plain edge between the scallops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone or with a professional sharpener - the scallops are self-maintaining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a knife roll, magnetic strip, or protective sleeve - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"French","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55456599507235,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/736D4B9C-77AF-4F41-9369-170C3922E1E6.jpg?v=1787019761","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-french-scalloped-chef-knife-250mm-2171","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
