The Takoma 8" Chef knife is an incredibly versatile kitchen tool ideal for a variety of everyday cutting tasks, including mincing herbs, finely slicing and chopping fruits and vegetables, or cutting thick meat. It is optimally balanced and weighted for maximum control while cutting, and the handle is contoured to provide a secure, comfortable grip. The dimples formed by the Hammered design on the Takoma artisan series knife blades are not only an exquisite design element, they also serve the same function as the dullens on the Santorum knife in the mast series; They create small air pockets that reduce cutting friction, which prevents food from sticking to the blade and dragging while slicing. Keep the Japanese Saia (sheath) on the blade and secured with the pin lock when not in use, both to protect the blade while in storage and for safety purposes. Hand-wash with warm water and a mild-detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
