Made in Japan.
This is a series of Japanese Grand Chef knives using Uddeholm's special alloy steel from Sweden.
The Grand Chef series achieve the three important functions for the first time. Extra razor-sharp, very light and surprisingly durable.Ā The knife is 100% entirely made of this specialĀ highest-grade quality material by Bohler-Uddeholm withĀ the lowest impurities, that is forged in Japan to getĀ higher hardness about HRC 61~62.Ā In addition to the better material, the blade is processed to get thinner for extra lightweight.
So the knife lasts a very long time (longer than others!) as some professional chefs gave feedback,Ā "For the longest time I use it, I must have more understood the competitive advantage and sharpness durability and lightness of the Grand Chef."Ā In addition, the steel makes hard, sharp cutting edges with surprisingly easy re-sharpening, like Japanese traditional knives made of "Hagane".
