A knife is only as good as the precision of its cut. In pursuit of ultimate sharpness, we were inspired by narrow-tipped Japanese knives and tested numerous angles before landing on a 13° edge on each side.
The Almost 4” Knife has a solid grip and pointy tip, which is ideal for detailed tasks like peeling fruits and veggies, de-seeding peppers, or de-veining shrimp.
At finishing, each knife is hand-polished, then heat-treated at 300°F before being cryogenically tempered at a well-beyond freezing -250°. This process alters the structure of the steel on a molecular level, making it harder, sharper, and more durable.
We integrated the classic oval shape of Japanese handles into our design, but used an innovative, stain-resistant composite material in a matte finish to make ours firm and slightly grippy, for safe and confident chopping.
The result? Just the right weight, just the right balance, and that perfect feels-just-right-in-your-hand sensation.
This knife feels so great in my hand. It's well-balanced, beautiful, and super sharp! I use it every day.
I really like this 4" knife; it's sharp & has a very nice handle. Great for slicing or dicing small quantities. Next purchase will be the longer version.
Sharp, precise, and I love the new green shade. I will eventually get another one.
Nice size, appears well made, pretty color.
I bought one for my friend and one for myself. We are loving this little knife! It's super sharp! I use it on everything from fruit to cheese, from fish to poultry. I can't wait to get another Material knife!
