Big kitchen knife for Asian cuisine
This big kitchen knife was designed by the professional chef, Mr. Pham Quang. He needed an ideal knife for cutting vegetables and meat into his kitchen gear. He wished a knife with a thin and maximal hard blade. Our smith forged the blade by hand from 2mm thick spring steel. The effective thickness of the material is after the forging process approx. 1.4mm. The slightly curved blade edge was hardened to approx. 60 HRC (approx. 30mm wide strip along the cutting edge). The rest of the blade is approximately 54 HRC hard. More information...

- Wash the knife with hand (never in a dishwasher)! After each use, wash it, dry it, and if it is not ging to be used for more than one week, grease it or apply preservative oil (e.g. Ballistol or WD40).
