K Sabatier Authentique 12" Chef Stainless

K Sabatier Authentique stainless series knives are forged from Z50C13 and tempered to 54-56 HRC; soft when compared to Japanese knives, but still with good edge life. These traditional style French stainless steel knives have a great toughness and are super easy to sharpen.

No dishwasher.

Please note, these can have cosmetic scratches or small imperfections in handles which will not impede the performance of the knife. This is par for the course on these knives and is part of how they sell them for a very reasonable price.

These knives are made in Thiers, France at the Aine & Perrier Sabatier works. Aine & Perrier Sabatier (aka K Sabatier) 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.
