Use the knife to slice sweet persimmons and juicy temple oranges; the blade performs just as well for finely chopping fragrant Thai basil and dicing fresh Japanese cucumbers. This all-purpose knife features a blade forged from top-quality Japanese stainless steel and stone-finished with a fine, taper ground edge for exceptional cutting performance. The silicone-enhanced handle features patented Anolon SureGrip technology for comfortable, reliable grip, with a full bolster elegantly connecting handle to blade and a stainless steel end cap for knife balance. A sturdy fitted plastic sheath helps protects the blade between uses, and this gourmet utility knife makes a great complement to the other quality cutlery and kitchenware in the Anolon collection.
