Craftsmanship

The French Chef’s Knife is fully hand-ground and hand-finished, tuned for cooks who value a knife that moves naturally with them. The curved tip allows for classic French rocking cuts, while the mid-height blade offers a controlled, responsive feel during detail work or quick slicing.

Nitro-V hardened to 60–62 HRC delivers a fine, crisp edge and the reliable durability needed for everyday prep. The balance point lands comfortably forward of the handle, giving the blade a lively, confident presence in the hand.

Each handle is individually hand-sculpted, ensuring a smooth, ergonomic grip that compliments the knife’s graceful motion. The result is a chef’s knife that feels effortless — almost like it anticipates your next cut.
