The A-30 series is crafted for seasoned kitchen knife users, designed with precision over many years to meet the specific needs of skilled chefs accustomed to a "pinch grip." These knives feature a light and well-balanced construction, providing an efficient experience for chefs. Unlike other knives that may cause discomfort, our design reflects decades of kitchen expertise and meticulous refinement. The blades are crafted from a 3-layer steel with a core of renowned Aus-10 steel, celebrated for its global high performance. With a hardness rating of 60 HRC, it allows easy grinding when necessary, and a vacuum treatment enhances its durability. The 15° edge on each side ensures simple resharpening as needed. Do NOT wash in a dishwasher.
