A high blade for efficient slicing

With a hardness of approx. 56-58 HRC, this blade combines edge retention with easy sharpening, making it perfectly suited to regular use in the home or professional kitchen.
Its rectangular shape enables you to make clean vertical cuts on a board, while providing sufficient surface area to transfer the cut food to a bowl or dish. The blade'sflat edge guarantees a symmetrical, precise cutting edge.
The blade is finished with a simple polish for easy cleaning and a clean look. All signed with the Guillaume Leonard logo, discreet and refined.
A comfortable, sturdy handle
The knife's handle is made from red sandalwood, a durable, dense species that naturally resists humidity. Its warm hue and fine grain add authenticity to the whole.
The handle is cut into a Western shape, rounded at the palm, for an ergonomic, stable grip. This comfort is essential when you're making the hard movements typical of Chinese chef's knives.
The handle is reinforced by a stainless steel bolster, which improves the knife's balance and links it to the blade. The wooden plates are attached to the tang by three stainless steel rivets, for added strength.
