Overview
A full tang of steel encased in smooth wood is the working structure of this Grand Maitre chef's knife, which has a forged high carbon stainless blade. The maker describes the combination as balanced and agile.
The full tang adds durability and strength, and the wood handle is shaped for comfort. The limitation is sizing data that disagrees with itself across the title, blade length, size and item length fields.
Who it's for
Cooks who like the warmth and feel of wood and want a forged, full-tang blade for general chopping and slicing will find the build suitable. Those who want documented care steps should ask the maker.
Pros and cons
- High carbon stainless blade
- Sizing fields disagree
- Wood care steps not listed
- No warranty given
Performance notes
Steel running into the handle supports durability and balance, per the description, and the plain straight edge slices cleanly. The listing gives no hardness or edge-angle data to estimate edge life.
