Every kitchen has that one workhorse, high quality knife that's just nicer to use than anything else in the draw, and this is ours, the go-to do it all knife. With a fairly robust semi-convex grind, this one is perfect for every job you don't already have a specialist knife for. It's thin enough for super smooth slicing even of tougher foods, while retaining a moderate amount of food release and durability. The long curved edge and tall heel combined with the carefully sculpted handle set up for a pinch grip will make any task a dream. This one has been refinished with our 'special black' finish which gives a dark blade with an oil spill coloured shine as seen in the video and the three photos before. This can be changed back to the original black/ white colour scheme if requested.

80crv2 is a tough steel so you don’t have to be too worried about chipping it despite the thin edge although high quality knives should always be treated with respect. Like most carbon steels, it is easy to sharpen and keep a hair-popping edge.
