K Sabatier - Chef's knife 25 cm

Chef's knife on 25 cm from K Sabatier

A chef's knife of 25 cm is on the slightly larger end and will therefore be very suitable for slicing vegetables. With this type of knife, you will typically prefer the cutting method where you constantly let the tip of the knife rest on your cutting surface while you use the back of the knife to cut your workpieces. The knife is still relatively light, which makes it comfortable to work with.

The knives we have chosen to carry from K Sabatier are all with carbon steel blades. That is, steel where the primary components are iron and carbon with the absence of e.g. chromium, nickel and other common alloying elements. This partly causes the knife to rust, but it also means that the knife can be sharpened very finely, thus becoming sharper and cutting better.

K Sabatier is a forge located in Thiers in France, whose history goes all the way back to 1810. Here, local craftsmanship is taken very seriously, and if you like, you can read our article about our first visit to K Sabatier in autumn 2017.
