The ideal knife for long, clean cuts
The Guillaume Leonard Cuistot 30cm carving knife is specially designed for easy slicing of meat , whether roast, poultry or ham. Its long, honeycombed blade guarantees resistance-free slicing of large portions, while its traditional handle ensures good stability. This sober, efficient and elegant knife comes in a storage box, ideal for protection or gift-giving.
A long blade for fluid meat slicing
This Guillaume Leonard kitchen knife has a 30cm blade made of German 1.4116 stainless steel. This chromium-nitrogen enriched alloy is renowned for its corrosion resistance and good edge retention. 1.4116 stainless steel is highly prized in cutlery for its characteristics.
Reaching a hardness of around 56-58 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade remains easy to sharpen while retaining an effective edge for regular use. This knife is equally suited to cooks serving a family roast or a professional caterer.
Honeycombs on the blade create small air pockets during cutting. This reduces the sticking of slices, particularly with fine or juicy meat.
The blade's flat cutting edge ensures a straight, fluid cut, suitable for both right- and left-handed users.
The polished finish facilitates cleaning and reinforces the knife's sober aesthetic. It is discreetly signed with the Guillaume Leonard logo.
A traditional, robust and comfortable handle
The handle of the Guillaume Leonard carving knife is made of red sandalwood, a dense, naturally moisture-resistant wood. Its warm grain and soft touch provide a pleasant grip.
Its rounded Western shape at the palm ensures ergonomics and stability, for optimal control during cutting, even in long sessions.
The handle is reinforced by a stainless steel bolster, which improves the knife's balance and protects the hand. Three stainless steel rivets securely fasten the wood inserts to the tang of the knife for a long-lasting hold.
