Slicing knife 274 mm. Hardness 60 HRC-SRP-0045

Lightweight and versatile, the Reptile Cleaver is an all-purpose tool that will pound, chop, crush, mince, scoop, and slice food. With a narrow cross-section, it’s flexible and able to handle delicate peeling, chopping, and slicing duties – which are beyond the realm of a butcher’s cleaver’s abilities. It’s primarily a vegetable knife used for chopping, but it also doubles as a slicing knife for shaving fine slivers from meat and other proteins – and it’s definitely not meant for hacking through large bones. It has enough height that you can use it to scoop up large amounts of product like a spatula or bench scraper, and enough mass that the spine can be used to pound and tenderize meat. And the flat of the blade has enough surface area to flatten and crush ingredients like garlic, ginger, or nuts. A knife series in an animalistic shape, which takes you to the Mesozoic era, when giant reptiles and dinosaurs wandered the Earth; when speed, strength and reactions were necessary to survive. In fact, nothing has changed. Fangs, claws, a fiery disposition, aspiration for power and insatiable hunger. The reptile is a symbol of a new technological era; a symbiosis of knife production heritage and contemporary aesthetics. This is a tribute to minimalism, agility and super-light weight. The blade and the handle are made separately and then welded together. The handle is hollow. Although there is no bolster, the rounded hole ensures more control. Thanks to the ribbed handle, it is very ergonomic and provides grip at the same time. Unique Features: • Convex or “U” shape sharpening is considered to be a superior sharpening method compared to regular edge sharpening. It is a procedure whereby the entire curve of the blade is sharpened, not just the edge. Convex sharpening brings longer-lasting sharpness, durability and less drag, delivering a perfectly smooth cut. • Rounded spine to avoid rubbing and fatigue of fingers during prolonged cooking operations. • AUS10 - the top-quality high carbon stainless steel, which is strong, tough, and resistant to rust, wear & tear, is easily sharpened, leaving you with a razor-sharp result that is durable for a long time. • Ribbed handle to deliver a better grip.
