22 - Kiwi Brand cleaver style cook's knife with an eight inch blade and a hardwood handle.
The Kiwi Brand 22 is a fairly wide rectangular bladed cook knife. The cutting edge is flat along 3/4 of the length nearest the handle and has a slight curve towards the front edge. A great knife for prepping vegetables and the wide blade is good for transferring ingredients that have been processed.
The blade is made from Japanese high carbon martensitic stainless steel (SUS420J2) which has been hardened and tempered for optimal sharpness. This knife has a razor sharp, double bevelled cutting edge and it has a high quality hardwood handle which is secured with brass rivets.
As the handle wood is untreated, it will benefit from the occasional application of a food grade oil to maintain the health of the wood, avoiding shrinkage and keeping the handle looking like new. See the "knife care" tab for more details.
