While chopping zucchini, dicing onions, slicing peppers and mincing garlic for a stir-fry dinner, this chef knife from Chicago Cutlery rises to the challenge. Chicago Cutlery has 75 years of experience, crafting top-notch knives since 1930. This 6-inch chef knife exemplifies this tradition. The smaller chef knife in the Walnut Tradition design, the lightweight knife proves indispensable in preparing ingredients for virtually any recipe while endowing the kitchen with its attractive appearance.
Craftsmen stamped the chef knife from high-carbon 420 stainless steel for increased hygiene and permanence. The stain- and corrosion- resistant blade then undergoes Chicago Cutlerys special Taper Grind edge process to ensure the sharpest edge possible upon initial use, as well as through years of maintenance. For greater balance and strength, the chef knife benefits from a full tang. The knife handle is composed of beautiful hand-finished, solid walnut, secured by three brass rivets and grooved for a comfortable grip. To preserve the chef knifes effectiveness, the blade should be sharpened regularly. Wash the knife by hand and dry immediately to safeguard the wood handiwork. Store the chef knife in a knife block or affix to a magnetic strip. Chicago Cutlery offers a lifetime guarantee for all knives in the event of faulty materials or workmanship. Upon shipping, this item weighs one pound. --Jessica Reuling
