Endeavour® Big Chopper Chef's Knife - Chef knives

This knife is the most powerful in the series. With its size and stable blade, it is designed for the big tasks in the kitchen. It cuts through mountains of herbs and vegetables effortlessly. It's also perfect for precise cuts of crisp vegetables and meat, thanks to the large blade that provides stable control over your work. This knife is the flagship of the Discovery Pro series. Steel: The knife is made from the finest Japanese VG10 steel. VG10 is developed and produced by Takefu Special Steel Co. in Echizen, Japan. The VG10 name can only be used when it is produced by Takefu Special Steel Co. in Japan. VG10 adds strength and power to this knife due to its superior toughness. Construction: The knife is hand-sharpened and polished to achieve ultimate sharpness. It is forged in 67 layers, with 33 layers on each side of the core steel. The steel is hardened at over 1000°C and then cooled to below -180°C. This process ensures the steel's hardness of 60-61 HRC and contributes to the knife's lightness, strength, and incredible sharpness. Handle: The FSC-certified pakka wood makes a huge difference as it is resistant to heat and warping. Pakka wood is water-resistant and ensures stable control over the knife. It consists of compressed wood fibers treated with resin. The handle is ergonomically designed, making it comfortable to hold. Our Recommendation: We recommend hand washing this knife as it is made from the finest VG10 Japanese steel. Use a ceramic honing rod frequently to maintain sharpness for a long time. The knife should be stored properly, and the handle should be oiled as needed.
