K-Series K5 Chef's Knife, 180mm, Stainless/Carbon, Fine Woods

Price

R 3 640,00

The Robert Herder K5 chef's knife has a blade shape reminiscent of a German chef's knife and a Japanese Gyuto chef's knife. The cutting edge of the blade is completely ground and can be used completely. It is a sharp chef's knife suitable for cutting vegetables, meat, fish and fruit. But chopping herbs, crushing peppercorns and peeling garlic cloves is also possible without any problems. This knife is truly an all-around talent!

The blade is made of stainless steel/carbon and ground by hand according to the principle of the traditional „Solingen thin grind“. The result is a very sharp knife. The handle is made of plum wood. The wood is seamlessly attached to the blade with rivets.

Ergonomics was also given great importance. The handle is slim and graceful with rounded shapes and fits perfectly in the hand. The K-Series was developed for cooking friends who want to make intensive use of their kitchen knives.

Robert Herder knives are largely handmade and can therefore have a slightly longer delivery time. This also means that the delivery time is sometimes longer than stated on our website.

    Cuts very well

    Beautiful, well-finished (polished blue glaze, wooden handle) and effective. Closer to a santoku than a gyutoh at this size. Very rigid and convex blade (something to be aware of). Very fine edge/sharpening. Cuts very well. The handle is very comfortable in the palm of the hand, but less comfortable when gripping the tip (fingers on the blade).

    Sharp and comfortable

    Very sharp. Feels comfortable in the hand, the handle provides a good grip. You must keep the knife clean and dry, so do not leave it in water after use.
