MBS-26 Steel and Thin Blade Geometry

The blade is made of MBS-26 steel, which is used in kitchen knives due to its good combination of cutting properties, corrosion resistance, and the ability to achieve a thin, precise edge. The blade is only 1.5 mm thick, which allows the blade to glide smoothly through food.

Full Flat and Satin

The full flat grind that extends high up the blade reduces wedging during cutting and allows for the use of a thin blade geometry. The smooth Plain Edge is ideal for precision kitchen work, while the satin finish gives the surface a classic, functional look.

Textured polypropylene handle

The black handle, made of polypropylene, is molded directly onto the blade. Its graduated texture improves grip during use and makes it easier to control this light, slender knife.
