Overview
A Granton edge, with hollowed grooves on both sides of the blade, is the working part of this Swiss Classic chef's knife. The grooves take on juices or trap air so food releases from the steel, and a contoured handle supports the grip.
The grooves reduce sticking and friction, and a flat spine also lets a hand press down on firm-skinned squash. The limitation is the handle data: the spec table names stainless steel and the description names contoured nylon.
Who it's for
Home cooks who chop onions and potatoes, mince shallots and slice roasts or ham get one knife for most tasks. Cooks who need a lighter detail blade or a heavy forged build should look at a different shape.
Pros and cons
- Granton grooves reduce sticking
- Long sloping curve for rocking
- Flat spine for pressing
- Can be honed with a steel
- Handle material listed inconsistently
- Stamped, no bolster
- Blade thickness not listed
Performance notes
Grooves on each side collect juices or form air pockets, which breaks the seal between food and steel and lowers friction during slicing. The sloping curve allows rocking for mincing, and the flat spine takes hand pressure for hard-skinned items. It is still a straight edge, so a sharpening steel can hone it.
