#@@# Blade Construction#@#
Forged as a single piece from high carbon German steel, the blade offers a robust core that resists bending under heavy use. Cooks enjoy a durable cutting edge that maintains sharpness through repeated tasks and sustains reliable performance across vegetable, protein, and chopping stations.
#@@# Edge Geometry#@#
Honed to a precise angle, the blade geometry promotes clean, efficient cuts that minimize cell damage and preserve ingredient texture. Kitchen staff experience smoother slicing with less force, improving yield and accelerating mise en place workflows.
#@@# Handle Ergonomics#@#
The molded Delrin handle, equipped with triple rivets, provides a secure, balanced grip that minimizes slippage and enhances control at the bolster. Chefs can perform fine cuts and repetitive motions with reduced hand strain, enabling sustained productivity during long service periods.
#@@# Sanitation Compliance#@#
NSF certification confirms that the knife meets sanitation standards required in commercial kitchens. Managers can maintain regulatory compliance while ensuring tools withstand routine wash cycles and daily sanitation procedures.
#@@# Weight and Balance#@#
Weighing approximately 0.833 pounds, the knife offers a weight distribution that enhances control without causing excessive operator fatigue. Prep teams notice improved maneuverability when rocking, chopping, and slicing tasks demand both speed and precision.
