Thin, long and deep. This blade's weight is distributed so that the balance point is centered, making this knife remarkably quick and deft. Often the choice of people who'd never considered anything as big as this knife. Very quickly they delight in knowing their knife will not soon run out of blade! The 'Pedro' handle is slightly shorter and a very very grippy handle. Will not slip a bit even if covered in grease and soaked in water. Knife designer Adam Simha designs and handcrafts absolutely superb bench-made high-performance steel blades for his knives. These designs feature body geometry influenced by the best of both Asian and Western traditions. His blades are tempered to a Rockwell 56 hardness to provide toughness, easy sharpening, and remarkable edge holding. Steels used in the different blades are 13C26, 440-C, 154CM, and SF77 stainless. The unique grip: MKS knives come with an injection-molded bicycle grip that is tightly fitted over a naturally bacteria-resistant stainless steel tube. The bicycle grip, with its deep grooves for the fingers, provides a perfect balance of shock absorption and control. Each knife is tuned precisely for weight, balance, and control. They are visually remarkable and functionally exquisite and have been featured in many publications including Atlantic Monthly, the Boston Globe, City, and Kitchenware News. Free with every purchase: a rawhide honing strap. Foodie's Emporium is proud to be an exclusive online retailer of Adam's amazing knives.
