The patented design has an angled bolster that encourages a secure pinch grip on the knife. The bolster is forged and the blade is made of high-alloy German steel, making it durable, stain resistant, and easy to maintain. The ULTRA6 heat treatment ensures the knives are razor sharp and have exceptional edge retention. They are handcrafted and sharpened by expert bladesmiths and come with a lifetime warranty. The handles are well balanced and ergonomic, creating a comfortable and secure grip for a natural extension of the arm.
