Hand-forged with our signature Stealth blade—25% thinner and 10% lighter than traditional western chef’s knives—it offers unmatched precision and reduced fatigue during long prep sessions. Its razor-sharp edge slices cleanly through everything from butternut squash to bundles of fresh herbs. The elegant Italian olive wood handle adds a natural, luxurious touch while providing a secure, ergonomic grip. This is more than just your kitchen’s workhorse—it’s the refined, agile performer you’ll reach for again and again. Balanced, lightweight, and visually stunning, this blade does it all—and looks good doing it.
