Overview

A home cook doing detailed prep gets a compact knife with a blade of German stainless steel. A forged bolster joins blade to handle, and a curved triple-rivet handle ends in a stainless steel cap.

The light weight and fine edge suit strawberries, garlic and cheddar, and the bolster adds balance. The limitation is a contradiction in the spec table, which lists the construction as both stamped and forged.

Who it's for

Cooks who do detailed trimming and slicing of small items will find the small blade quick to handle. Heavy chopping and carving jobs call for a larger knife.

Cons
  • Construction listed as stamped and forged

Performance notes

The fine edge makes precise cuts on soft items such as berries and cheese, and low weight reduces fatigue during long prep. The bolster moves weight toward the handle for balance, while the rivets hold the handle halves to the tang.
