The 8-inch Katai chef's knife from the quality brand Forged is a beautiful chef's knife inspired by undulating forms. The chef's knife is entirely hand-forged from five layers of Japanese VG10 steel, and the blade features a beautiful design that flows seamlessly into the handle. The blade is further finished with a very fine hammer for a refined look. The handle is then crafted from rootwood, which is first filled with hardwood, then pressed and shaped. This makes each handle unique in terms of finish, color, size, and wood grain. This chef's knife has a truly unique appearance. It boasts a Rockwell hardness of 60, a 8-inch blade length, a 2 mm blade thickness, and an 18-degree sharpening angle for perfect results and ease of use. Finally, the chef's knife comes with a 10-year guarantee and is packaged in a luxurious wooden box.
