Product Description

Amazon.com Review

An excellent knife maker, Sabatier is one of the few companies left that still make a line of pure carbon steel blades, which take a sharp edge better than any other material. For many chefs, this sharp edge more than makes up for minor discolorations that occur with age. At eight inches, this carver is an ideal length for a small- to medium-sized roast or fowl (you'll fare better with a 10- or 12-inch blade for a Thanksgiving-sized roast). Whether you're serving poultry, beef, lamb, or wild game, this knife slices smoothly through any cut of meat. A full tang provides good alignment and balance, and three brass rivets in the handle add structural strength, but may rust. Hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately for long life. When you take it to get sharpened, verify the sharpener knows how to handle carbon steel--it's a bit different than regular stainless and you'll want to take full advantage of its special sharpening properties. --Meg Heffernan

Quality construction, thick blade is rigid, but does not slice as well as the Henckels and Wusthof.
