Case Household Cutlery Chef's Knife

A hollow-ground edge is thinner behind the cutting edge, which reduces friction as you slice through food. This design makes the knife exceptionally sharp and easier to maintain, as it requires less metal removal when you eventually need to sharpen it.

Yes, walnut is a dense, stable hardwood that holds up well in kitchen environments. While it offers a comfortable, natural grip, you should avoid soaking it in water or running it through the dishwasher to preserve the wood's integrity over time.

The knife features a seamless construction without unnecessary crevices or rivets where food particles can hide. This simple design makes it much easier to clean thoroughly after every use, ensuring a more hygienic prep surface.

This chef's knife is designed primarily for everyday slicing, chopping, and dicing of vegetables and boneless proteins. While it is robust, it is not intended for heavy-duty tasks like hacking through bone, which could damage the fine edge.

Because the handle is made of natural walnut, it requires slightly more attention than plastic or composite handles. We recommend hand-washing the knife immediately after use and drying it completely, rather than leaving it in a wet sink or dishwasher.
