A knife is only as good as the precision of its cut. Our serrated knife is wavy-toothed, for a cleaner, crisper cut than your average knife. Its pointed, Santoku-inspired tip is perfect for piercing soft-skinned veggies with exactitude.
Top-heavy knives cause hand-cramping. Our blade is a full tang: it extends into the handle, so weight is better distributed, and won’t break under pressure.
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.
I liked this so much, I recommend it for you to cut onions and tomatoes. So easy it glides like "butter" through the outside.
I have purchased four of these knives, one set for an in-law suit kitchen (in bone), a set for my parents (in blue), a set for a furnished rental (in almost black), and one in my trio set for my kitchen (in black), now I see the new mocha color and I want the trio set. After having owned Materials knives going on 5 years, they’re the best value for price knives on the market.
This is a limited color I would like the whole set but unavailable
Husband loves his Material knives. Very rarely need sharpening, and feel sturdy and well made in your hand.
The weight and feel of this knife is perfect, and as described it is great for cutting much more than bread. Best knife in the kitchen, and will likely be ordering the 8" and 4" soon!
