The Classic White Series embraces all the favourite features that food lovers and professional chefs have come to rely on from the Classic series, but now with a refined white handle. The White series combines superior performance with a modern simplistic design for timeless knives that offer everything you need for preparing and plating fresh food. The Classic White 8” Cook’s Knife is the most indispensable knife in the kitchen. As an all-purpose blade, this cook’s knife is designed to handle a variety of cutting tasks. The 8” length is the standard size for a chef’s knife and the ideal size for all types of food prep. The full bolster protects fingers while adding weight to the knife for a perfect balance, while the ergonomic handle fits comfortably in the hand for a smooth cutting experience. This knife is designed to chop through all types of meat and vegetables as well as finely dice herbs and small produce. Features a full tang that is triple riveted to the handle for added stability and precise control. Classic White series handles are made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. Each Classic White Knife is forged from a single piece of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC for lasting edge retention, integral blade strength, and ease of maintenance. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention.
