CUREL 8" Master Series Chef Knife

The Masters Series from Curel Cutlery is a full line of knives and kitchen tools designed to meet the needs of busy chefs, and advanced home cooks. Blades are constructed of German high-carbon X50 Cr MoV15 steel - the same steel used by high end German knife brands. A full tang provides balance, but additional steps are taken to adjust the blade thickness to ensure proper balance at every blade length.  Edges are hand sharpened and honed to create a sharp edge that is ready to work.  Handles are constructed from POM polymers - offering a superior level of durability, temperature resistant and low water absorption rates that are important to reduce bacteria growth.  Large stainless steel rivets attach the handles.  Handle and tang are polished down by hand to create a smooth and seamless transition between the tang and the handles. Knives are dishwater safe, though hand washing and drying is prefered. 

Curel Cutlery is a leading knife and tool manufacturer, and one of the oldest in Portugal producing professional quality knives for the meat processing, food service, agriculture and fishing industries, as well as manufacturing quality lines of knives and utensils for home users.
