MESSERMEISTER ROYALE ELITE 7'' KULLENSCHLIFF SANTOKU KNIFE

Royale Elite combines a beautiful American Walnut Burl handle to a fine German stainless steel alloy blade. Walnut burl features a rich deep brown flared pattern and is prized for its hard, strong characteristic as a handle material. The blade is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged from German stainless carbon alloy that has been hand crafted into a fine cutting instrument. This vintage style knife is one-of-a-kind and sure to become a treasured family heirloom. Just as versatile as a traditional chefs knife, a Santoku Knife is also known as a Japanese chefs knife. The Royale Elite 7 Kullenschliff Santoku, has a thin taper for maximum precision when slicing vegetables, fish and meat. The kullens are the semi-circular hollows on either side of the blade which reduce adhesion and ease the cutting and separation of meats, cheese and vegetables. The blade and handle are compatible in width and weight, resulting in a well-balanced knife. Product Features The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge. This knife line is one-piece stamped, which produces a thin and lightweight blade. They are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58. The 20° edge on this blade is efficient and resilient. The knives are outfitted with the finest industrial strength thermoplastic polyoxymethylene (POM) handle. Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany. The Knife for Life guarantee provides a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects. 100% Messermeister quality Product Information Model Number : E/9610-7K Dimension : 16.5 x 3.2 x 1.2 inches Item Weight : 12.6 ounces Shipping Weight : 12.6 ounces Origin : Made in Germany
