Key Features:

SIGMAFORGE Single-Piece Forged Construction: Blade is forged from a single piece of special formula high-carbon "no stain" stainless steel, delivering exceptional strength, balance, and structural integrity throughout the full length of the knife.
FRIODUR Ice-Hardened Blade: Proprietary ice-hardening process produces a blade that starts sharper and maintains its edge significantly longer than conventionally hardened steel, rated at 55-58 HRC.
Precision-Honed Laser-Controlled V-Edge: Blade is precision-honed to an optimized cutting angle using laser-controlled technology, ensuring consistent sharpness, durability, and repeatability across the full edge from bolster to tip.
Curved Bolster for Professional Pinch Grip: The unique curved bolster acts as a natural extension of the hand, actively supporting the professional pinch grip (thumb and index finger on the blade) for improved cutting control, safety, and reduced fatigue during extended prep sessions.
Full Tang with Triple-Riveted Polymer Handle: Full tang construction and a triple-riveted black matte polymer handle provide superior balance, long-term durability, and a secure, comfortable grip in demanding kitchen environments.
Wide Rectangular Blade for Versatile Vegetable Prep: The 7-inch wide rectangular blade excels at slicing, dicing, and chopping large vegetables and leafy greens, while the broad flat face doubles as a scoop for efficient transfer of prepped ingredients from board to pan.
Dual-Style Cutting Motion: Broad front curve enables Western-style rocking cuts, while the straight spine supports the vertical chopping motion characteristic of Asian knife technique, making this knife highly versatile across cooking styles.
Dimensions: 7.09-in. blade length, 3.54-in. blade height, 12.60-in. overall length, 0.99 lbs.
Dishwasher Safe; Hand Wash Recommended: Rated dishwasher safe for convenience, though hand washing is recommended to preserve edge quality and finish.
