K Sabatier Au Carbone 6" Chef

One of our favorite knife sizes, not too small, not to big! The K Sabatier ‘Authentique’ series have a classic French profile, drop forged full tang blade with a round bolster and a sleek riveted handle. They are somewhat thinner and lighter than a typical German chef knife, with good cutting feel and food release. They can handle a wide variety of tasks, making them a great choice for any avid cook. PLEASE NOTE! The carbon steel knives from K Sabatier may have small bends and warps in the blade, due to the manufacturing process. They also may have light pitting and rust from long term storage. They will be cleaned and sharpened before shipping. **Extra care is required with carbon steel. No soaking or dishwashers! Dry well in between uses to avoid rust. Blade will develop a patina (discoloration) with normal use. Blade Material: XC75 Carbon Steel Handle Material: Black POM Plastic, Brass Rivets Hardness: 54-56 HRC Blade Length: 5.7" (145mm) Overall Length: 10.125" (257mm) Height at Heel: 1.3" (33mm) Weight: 4.3 oz (124 grams) For 8 generations, the French company K Sabatier have been producing excellent professional level chef knives. Still a family run operation, the folks at K Sabatier have extensive relationships with the craftspeople in Thiers, France. From forging to handling to final fit and finish, the methods and materials have changed over the last 200 years, but the attention to tradition has been maintained.
