Kutoyama Chef's knife with 20cm blade and ebony handle

The 20cm Kutoyama Chef Knife is a versatile knife for everyday use in the kitchen!

This chef's knife is ideal for all your cutting needs. With its long 20cm blade, you can make a wide range of cuts on boneless meat, vegetables, fish or aromatic herbs. Slicing, chopping and mincing large foods is easy with this knife.

The knife blade is made of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. Containing 0.5% carbon and 15% chromium, the alloy offers excellent resistance to oxidation and is extremely robust. The vanadium present makes it shock-resistant, and the molybdenum enhances its anti-corrosion capacity while ensuring a hardness of 56-58 HRC on the Rockwell scale.

This hardness gives the knife an effective cutting edge that lasts. Cutting is easy. For maintenance, this knife is easily stone-sharpened when necessary, but for everyday use, a sharpening gun is all you need to sharpen it before use.

The knife features a 13cm handle made from ebony wood, a species recognizable by its dark brown, almost black, hue. It's a very dense, elegant wood that ensures a sturdy, long-lasting knife. The almost oval shape of the handle ensures a comfortable, ergonomic grip over time.

A stainless steel bolster and base complete the knife. Reinforcing the blade, the bolster provides additional protection in the event of a fall. The base gives the knife an elegant finish.

This Kutoyama chef's knife is both stylish, with a blade reminiscent of a Kiritsuke, and versatile enough to find a place in your kitchen.

We advise you to wash it exclusively by hand, as wood does not appreciate humidity. Be sure to dry it well before storing. It comes in a superb box for safe storage, and makes a great gift idea.
