#@@# Blade Geometry#@#
The stamped 8" stainless steel blade provides a wide cutting surface that promotes single-pass slicing, chopping, and mincing for proteins, vegetables, and herbs. Users will experience consistent cuts and reduced prep time thanks to a design that balances mass with maneuverability.
#@@# Edge Retention#@#
Factory-finished edges deliver sharp performance out of the box and simplify resharpening cycles on whetstones or honing rods. Chefs will maintain productive line speeds because the blade holds a working edge through repeated daily use.
#@@# Handle Ergonomics#@#
The black polypropylene handle offers a tactile grip and sanitary properties while resisting impact and moisture common in busy kitchens. Kitchen staff will reduce hand fatigue during long prep periods because the handle combines a secure hold with lightweight construction.
#@@# Sanitation and Maintenance#@#
The stainless steel blade and nonporous handle allow for straightforward cleaning and sanitizing protocols common in commercial foodservice environments. Managers will meet hygiene standards more efficiently, as both materials withstand regular washing without absorbing odors or moisture.
#@@# Durability Under Load#@#
Stamped construction increases toughness and resists warping during routine heavy tasks such as breaking down large cuts and dicing dense produce. Culinary teams will rely on consistent structural integrity over prolonged service intervals, lowering replacement frequency.
