With its handy design and distinctive, curved blade, it stands out from conventional knives and brings a touch of exoticism to your kitchen. VAY is perfect for fine cutting work: Its round blade in detail The typically Asian round blade of the VAY enables particularly precise cuts without crushing delicate stems and leaves. Instead, herbs and leafy vegetables are cut to retain their aroma and the flavors come out particularly well in your dishes. The very wide blade shape also offers a large contact surface, so that you can chop even large quantities of cut food quickly and efficiently and then transport them into the pot or pan. An all-purpose knife that thinks for itself: The ergonomic and practical design of the VAY The well thought-out design of the VAY is particularly impressive: The back of the blade forms a straight line with the knife handle, which means that the blade protrudes far under the handle. This creates a good leverage effect that enables clean, smooth cuts, even with hard or large-volume ingredients. Thanks to the small size of the knife blade, the VAY glides easily through the food being cut without tearing it. Light, sharp & efficient: The ideal kitchen knife for everyday use With a blade thickness of just 1 mm and a double-sided knife grind, VAY offers exceptionally good cutting guidance, which is particularly advantageous for everyday cutting work in the kitchen. The combination of low weight and high sharpness, made possible by the carbon content of the blade, makes the knife an indispensable all-rounder that effortlessly chops herbs, vegetables and more. Sharp forged blades made of carbon steel – VAY Our AUTHENTIC BLADES are made in small Vietnamese family businesses in Vietnam and are characterized by pure handcraft. The carbon steel material gives the VAY its special sharpness. If necessary, you can even easily resharpen the knife yourself. You can find instructions in our guide “Knife sharpening”. When choosing your knife, remember that although carbon steel is razor sharp, it is not rustproof. Therefore, our Vietnamese knives require a little more attention: ● After use, you should wash your carbon steel knife and dry it thoroughly. ●The VAY should not be put in the dishwasher, otherwise rust stains may form. ●To strengthen the surface, you can oil it regularly with knife oil.
