8-inch, Chef's knife

It is a fully forged knife, providing superior weight, balance, and durability compared to stamped alternatives. It features a triple-riveted, full-tang handle and a built-in bolster for optimal strength and finger safety during heavy chopping.

The blade is made from high-quality, high-carbon stainless steel that resists rust and corrosion. Precision-honed for long-lasting sharpness, this versatile kitchen workhorse easily slices, dices, and minces meats and tough vegetables.

While dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended to protect the sharp edge and handle from harsh detergents. Clean it with warm water and mild soap. This knife is backed by Henckels' lifetime warranty against defects.

To maintain the forged stainless steel blade, hand wash it immediately after use to preserve the sharp blade. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Dry the knife thoroughly to prevent rust spots, especially on the blade's edge. Use a honing rod regularly before each use to realign the knife's sharp blade and maintain its razor-sharp edge.

Depending on usage, sharpen the knife professionally or with a whetstone every six months to a year to keep the cutting edge in optimal condition. Store the knife safely in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the blade from damage and dulling. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like glass or granite, and always use a proper cutting board to prolong the knife's life and performance.
