The German Chef Knife

Germany has a centuries-long tradition of producing exceptional kitchen knives, and this 240mm chef's knife is a fine example of that heritage. The fully forged carbon steel blade delivers the edge retention and sharpenability that stainless simply cannot match - it will take a razor edge on a whetstone and hold it through hard use. At 240mm, it has the reach for large prep work while remaining nimble enough for detail cuts. Carbon steel develops a natural patina with use. One-of-a-kind and not available anywhere else.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade if storing long-term
• Hone regularly with a honing steel; sharpen with a whetstone as needed
• A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and desirable
