Chef Modern 200 mm. Hardness 60 HRC-SRP-0087

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.Samura Reptile chef's knife is a beautiful combination of unique design and ultimate quality in each detail. Made of AUS-10 Japanese steel, hardened up to 59±1 HRC, sharpened with a convex grind and have incredible cutting performance. It is sharpened on both sides, like Western knives, but to an extremely acute 17-degree angle rather than a beveled edge (the average European edge is ground to 20-22 degrees). As long as you use a proper cutting-board and do not abuse the knife will retain its edge for a long time. The Reptile chef's knife is a lightweight and features a delicate balance. The blade and the handle are made separately and then welded together. The handle is hollow. 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.
