My popular New Generation series of chef's knives. My experience working as a professional chef shines through in this chef's knife. My design is effective and feels great in the hand. The blade has a strong distal taper for balance and excellent edge geometry for perfect cutting. The steel, 13C27 Stainless is considered by many to be a great steel for chef's knives. It is extremely hard and takes on a superior razor edge and holds it. Beautiful stabilized fiddleback maple makes this line definitely at home in your modern kitchen.
