K Sabatier 8" Chef Authentique Carbon

A slightly narrow chef knife that almost feels like a large utility knife, wonderful for slicing a variety meats and vegetables. The K Sabatier ‘Authentique’ series have a classic French profile, drop forged full tang blade with a round bolster and a sleek riveted handle. They are somewhat thinner and lighter than a typical German chef knife, with good cutting feel and food release. They can handle a wide variety of tasks, making them a great choice for any avid cook. PLEASE NOTE! The carbon steel knives from K Sabatier may have small bends and warps in the blade, due to the manufacturing process. They also may have light pitting and rust from long term storage. They will be cleaned and sharpened before shipping. **Extra care is required with carbon steel. No soaking or dishwashers! Dry well in between uses to avoid rust. Blade will develop a patina (discoloration) with normal use. Blade Material: XC75 Carbon Steel Handle Material: Black POM Plastic, Brass Rivets Hardness: 54-56 HRC B
