Made to a JKC custom design. We have contracted the best commercial maker in Seki to produce this range of 69 Layer hammer beaten Damascus blades to suit the needs of the typical Western kitchen which often has users that utilise a more European method to cut – using force rather than edge length. The cold-forged blade is tough, hard and easy to look after. At this price point this is the best knife we sell. For economy, the laminated steel is pre forged into sheets that are laser cut to the final shape prior to expert tempering, grinding, hand sharpening and finishing. The result is a knife of outstanding quality that is comparable to many at a much higher cost. The knife series has been developed to meet a lot of chefs’ requests, especially from Western cuisine. They feel firmer and stronger if the knife is full tang for chefs from their experiences. Please Note: The handle colour varies from light to quite deep ochre.
This shape is primarily for peeling, paring, or cutting in the hand rather than on aboard. Used for tasks where a larger knife would be tricky or unsafe.
Function – Primarily for peeling and paring vegetables in the hand.
Normal lengths – 90mm to 135mm.
Tip: This knife is a MUST for every kitchen and the ideal partner to a larger chef’s knife.
