A Crafter knife set for every preparation task. The knives are made of natural materials. The handle panels are solid smoked oak, which makes them waterproof and gives the knives an unmistakable character. Their ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the hand. The end of the handle is designed to hold the knife securely. The sturdy handle panels are fixed with traditional brass rivets, giving the series its authentic character.
Unmistakable features. The blade is attached to the handle either full bolster or half bolster. It protects the fingers, and the balance enables fast and precise work. The thin support structure reduces the knife's weight and allows energy-efficient work. The blade is forged from high-carbon stainless steel. This robust steel guarantees a long service life and precise cutting. Extending the blade into the handle ensures reliable stability and balance, with the handle acting as a counterweight to the blade.
• Hand guard: the ergonomic handle fits well in the hand, and the curved handle end prevents slipping. The sturdy handle panels are fixed with traditional copper rivets.
• Handle: the handle panels are made of waterproof smoked oak, which gives the knife an unmistakable character, with unique grain and an authentic logo.
• Full bolster: the full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance enables fast and precise work.
• Half bolster: the knife is lighter thanks to the thin finger guard. This enables energy-efficient work. The design also allows the full blade to be used and resharpened.
• Full tang: the blade runs through the handle, giving reliable stability to the forged knife. It also provides good balance as a counterweight to the cutting edge.
