Summary

A forged German vegetable knife with a 7.0 in hollow-edge blade for cooks who prep a lot of vegetables. Check your sharpening setup before you buy: it uses a 10° per side edge and a full bolster that limits full-length whetstone work.

Strengths

  • Serious Eats testing found the hollow edge kept tomato slices and shallots from sticking.
  • Gyuto Club notes the steel rolls rather than chips and responds to a honing rod.
  • The blade is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel with full tang.
  • Owners report precise cuts, a handle that fits well, and a sharp edge.

Weaknesses

  • Serious Eats testing found the edge hitched on sweet potatoes.
  • Gyuto Club describes it as heavy for a vegetable knife.
  • The full bolster limits full-length sharpening on a whetstone.
  • The edge is 10° per side, so standard 14° sharpeners are a mismatch.
  • The brand advises handwash and dry, and advises against dishwasher use.
