Overview
Someone wanting a small chef knife gets a forged Japanese stainless steel blade with a wood handle. The balance is described as controlled, and the plain edge suits slicing and chopping.
A short blade is quick to maneuver on a board and light in the hand. The limit is reach on large produce and meat, and the listing says nothing about edge angle, hardness or cleaning.
Who it's for
Cooks with small hands, or those who work on compact boards, will like the length and light weight. Anyone slicing big cuts of meat or cabbages regularly should choose a longer blade.
Pros and cons
- Japanese stainless steel
- Short blade for big jobs
- Care instructions not listed
- Hardness not stated
Performance notes
A forged blade has more mass behind the cut than a stamped one, which helps with chopping. The plain edge slices cleanly through produce. A short length favors control over reach.
