Branching out from its already successful cookware line, Anolons Advanced collection features high-grade materials with substantial weight. Blades are forged from high-quality German carbon steel that resists rust and food stains. The stainless steel is ice-hardened for additional strength and longer edge retention. Blades are then polished with glass to produce an edge that is meant to be simultaneously sharp but smoother to the touch.
This 4-inch chefs knife has a short, thick blade that provides better control for smaller-handed chefs, plus is ideal for chopping, slicing, or dicing smaller fruits and vegetables. However, the smooth edge works better on softer foods and feels a little dull when cutting through harder vegetables, such as carrots or raw potatoes. Immediate sharpening on a fine steel is recommended before using this chefs knife to bring its edge to a sharper and safer angle for exact and injury-free cutting.
Full tangs and a counter balance cap on the Advanced Collection cutlery provide superior balance, while a rounded blade spine adds more comfort during extended periods of prepping. Ergonomically-shaped handles with cushioned non-slip Santoprene padding offers a secure, comfortable grip--even when cutting with wet hands. This chefs knife comes with a tiny plastic tip to safely cover its point while resting on the cutting board between chopping tasks. A larger plastic sheath is also included to protect the blade during in-drawer storage. Anolon guarantees this cutlery under a lifetime limited warranty and, for proper maintenance, recommends hand washing and immediately drying knives. --Cristina Vaamonde
