Overview
A cook who wants a compact chef's knife gets a forged blade with a broad front curve for rocking and a straight back for chopping. A curved bolster supports a pinch grip, and the black handle is polyoxymethylene.
The blade shape serves both rocking and straight chopping, and the edge can be used and resharpened from bolster to tip. The spec table adds no warranty or care guidance, and it reuses the blade length for overall length.
Who it's for
Cooks with smaller hands or limited board space can use a short blade with a bolster that guides the grip. Those who carve large cuts of meat or cut big produce will want more blade length.
Pros and cons
- Curved bolster for pinch grip
- Suits rocking and chopping motions

- Made in Germany
- Overall length repeats blade length
- Care steps not listed
- Short blade for large jobs
Performance notes
The broader front curve helps a rocking cut, while the straight back suits a chopping motion. The bolster places thumb and index finger on the blade, and the whole edge up to the bolster can be used.
