AUTHENTIC BLADES LONG VU, Asian kitchen knife, blade length 25 cm

The LONG VU is the newest model among the AUTHENTIC BLADES knives. We had been looking for a long, narrow knife shape for a long time. The result is the feather-light LONG VU with its 25 cm long and only 1 mm thin blade. With this knife, fish and meat can be cut into extremely thin slices. With gentle pressure, the blade is very flexible and adapts perfectly to the food being cut. Its carbon steel blade can be sharpened extremely sharply so that it can glide smoothly through a ham or roast, for example. But even large fruits with soft skin such as mango can be cut into slices of any thickness in one go. The light cedar wood handle lies comfortably and securely in the hand in every cutting position. It is not necessary to reach around, so that the cut can be made in one go. Notes on use: Please do not use for chopping bones or chopping frozen food. The hardening of the cutting area enables maximum sharpenability with a long service life, but there is a risk of blade breakage if the tool is used incorrectly. Not suitable for dishwashers. On our own behalf: The knives are made entirely by hand by small family businesses in Vietnam. A comparison with the quality of CNC lasered and sharpened mass-produced goods is unnecessary. Each handle is carved by hand and the blades are cut out with large tin snips without punching. The knives can have small blemishes. However, these do not reduce their suitability for everyday use and operational strength but reinforce their individuality and specialty. Please take this into account when making your purchase decision!
