My popular New Generation series of chef's knives. My experience working as a professional chef shines through in this chef's knife. My design is effective and feels great in the hand. The blade has a strong distal taper for balance and excellent edge geometry for perfect cutting. The steel, CPM 154 CM is considered by many to be the great steel for chef's knives. It has a balanced hardness and takes on a nice razor edge and holds it. A premium stabilized curly spalted maple handle makes this line definitely at home in your modern kitchen.
