Description: This exceptional chef's knife is the work of Argentinian knifemaker Pablo Untroib. Pablo lives in Buenos Aires. He specializes in knives for professional and amateur cooks as well as making outdoor knives.
Chef's knives are the general purpose knife in the kitchen. From slicing tomatoes to chopping onions, this knife will get the task done perfectly. The 4-1/3" blade is a perfect size for most any task -- yet it is small enough to be easy to control. It is a perfect size for the chef that prefers a smaller, more maneuverable knife and is sure to become a kitchen favorite.
The blade is hand ground VG10 stainless steel san mai. A central core of VG10 stainless steel is surrounded by layers of softer stainless. This allows the central core to be harder, while being protected by the softer, resilient sides. The blade features a convex grind to assist food release. The blade has a perfect arc for a rocking chop.
Ancient quebracho wood (Schinopsis spp.) handle scales are set on an orange G10 frame. This South American wood is extremely dense -- in fact, it derives its name from the Spanish quebrar hacha, which literally means “axe breaker.” Aptly named, wood in the Schinopsis genus is among the heaviest and hardest in the world.
The knife is accompanied by a veg tanned leather sheath.
This is an exceptionally light, very well balanced chef's knife that can be used for hours without fatigue. It is a perfect choice for both home and commercial chefs.
