This labor-intensive process ensures exceptional durability and a superior cutting edge. The knife's lightweight and springy design offers an unparalleled cutting feel, making it a favorite among professional chefs. Here are some key features to consider:

• Hand-forged on an old style 'Martinet' mechanical hammer
• Ground by hand on stone wheels for precision
• Lightweight and springy for exceptional performance

Practical Uses and Care

The K Sabatier Nogent Cuisine Massive Paring Knife is perfect for a variety of tasks in the kitchen. Its sharp edge and ease of sharpening make it ideal for peeling, trimming, and slicing delicate ingredients. To maintain its exceptional performance, avoid over-polishing with fine Japanese stones and instead use a coarser edge (equivalent to 1000 Japanese grit stone) and keep it sharp with a fine honing steel. Despite minor imperfections in the handle, which are consistent with handmade knives, this knife delivers unmatched performance. Embrace its unique character and enjoy a piece of history in your kitchen.
