The small chef's knife from the Shadow line is a practical and advanced tool for the kitchen. Its name comes from its appearance – its black handle and black-coated blade. The knife features perfect geometry and a stylishly understated design. The AUS-8 steel blade and the black non-stick coating prevent food from sticking during cutting and protect against corrosion. The knife has a full tang design – the tang extends the entire length of the handle, which is secured with 3 metal rivets. Full tang knives are particularly durable and reliable. The knife is double-sided with perfectly smooth bevels and is manually sharpened on a 5000 # water stone. With these features, it is a professional tool in any kitchen.
