White handles are a commitment, and the cooks who pick this knife know it. Under the color it is our standard 8-inch chef pattern in German high-carbon stainless, forged and ice quenched, ground down to a 2-millimeter blade. Thin steel is what makes a chef knife feel fast, and the Ergonomic 2.0 handle is weighted against it so the knife does not nose forward when you choke up on the bolster.

Anatomy of the tool

Blade

Two millimeters, forged thin

A 2-millimeter blade parts food instead of shoving it aside, which is why a thin chef knife feels sharper than a thick one carrying the same edge. Forging is what lets the steel go that thin and stay straight.

Edge

Ice quench, then the grind

Cooling the high-carbon steel hard and cold before final grinding is how we get edge retention out of a thin blade. It is also why this one shrugs off the acid and moisture that pit cheaper stainless.

Handle

White that stays white

The handle is molded rather than painted, so the color runs all the way through and does not wear gray at the heel. The Ergonomic 2.0 shape is the same one on our black knives, textured against slipping.

In Use

From seafood to bread

Vegetables, fruit, bread, fish, meat. Eight inches is long enough to slice a melon and short enough to mince on, and a white handle makes it obvious which knife is yours in a shared kitchen.

From the sharpening bench

Keep the white handle out of long contact with turmeric, beets and tomato paste. Wipe it when you wipe the blade and the color will not stain.
