#@@# Blade Geometry#@#
Japanese steel forms a stamped 8-inch blade that holds a sharp edge and resists deformation under repeated use. Users experience clean, consistent slices and reduced resharpening frequency, which lowers downtime and maintains portion accuracy.
#@@# Edge Profile#@#
Ground edges on both sides create an efficient cutting angle that slices through dense and fibrous items with minimal force. Chefs achieve uniform results faster, reducing prep time and improving throughput for high-demand services.
#@@# Handle Construction#@#
The rounded hardwood handle paired with a brass ferrule provides an ergonomic grip and secure tang alignment for vigorous chopping tasks. Staff notice less hand fatigue during prolonged use and enjoy reliable balance for precise control.
#@@# Weight and Balance#@#
At approximately 1.1 pounds overall, the knife concentrates mass toward the blade for confident chopping and rocking motions. Line cooks manipulate the tool with predictable momentum, accelerating batch prep without sacrificing technique.
#@@# Sanitation and Compliance#@#
NSF certification confirms the design meets foodservice sanitation standards and supports HACCP practices in institutional kitchens. Managers verify compliance during inspections and reduce the risk of service interruptions due to nonconforming equipment.
#@@# Versatile Application#@#
The broad 3.25-inch blade width functions as a cleaver, chopper, and transfer tool, allowing staff to move cut items from board to pan without additional implements. Operations streamline station setup and reduce tool counts while maintaining consistent quality.
