Specifications

Keeping the edge of a high-carbon SG2 blade sharp for longer depends on proper care: hand-washing in warm water right after use, drying thoroughly and storing on a knife block or magnetic strip away from contact with other metal items. The long, straight blade makes portioning easy with minimal effort, which matters when processing large batches of product in an institutional kitchen. For education and healthcare facility kitchens, technical documentation can be prepared for participation in tender purchasing.
