READ IMPORTANT DELIVERY OPTION INFORMATION

Forged in Thiers France, this is the top shelf series from K Sabatier and is named for the date of the register of the K trademark. It features a cryogenically treated Z50C13 stainless steel, POM handle and handmade leather sleeve.

The deep freeze treatment refines the structure of the steel gives this steel increased stainless-ness, flexibility, toughness and edge life, thereby increasing it's ability to be thin ground. This series has a lighter weight, sleeker cutting feel and better edge life than the standard stainless series from K Sabatier.

Aine & Perrier Sabatier (aka K Sabatier) of Thiers France has remained a family run business since its inception in the 1830's. The registered K trademark was recorded in 1834 making them arguably the oldest of the many Sabatier companies.

No Dishwasher.

Chef's Knife

A chef’s knife is an all-purpose kitchen knife designed for chopping, slicing, and dicing a wide range of ingredients. Its curved edge supports rocking cuts, while the pointed tip handles detail work. It’s the core knife in most kitchens for general prep.

Handle Material:

  • This is a stainless steel knife.
  • It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwashers will degrade the edge and handle over time. Extended moisture exposure can still cause oxidation.
  • Use on wooden cutting boards for best results.
  • Avoid hard surfaces like bamboo or plates. Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Medium Western Stainless

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.
