K Sabatier Authentique Ham Knife 250mm - High Carbon Steel - Made in France

Experience the Art of the Carve with K Sabatier's Authentique Ham KnifeThe K Sabatier Authentique Ham Knife 25cm is forged in Thiers, France from high carbon steel - a long, slender slicing blade purpose-built for carving whole hams, legs of lamb, and large roasts into thin, even slices with a single, fluid stroke.The Specs Steel: High carbon steel, forged in a single mass - 54-56 HRC Blade length: 250mm (10 in.) Handle: Black POM, hand-set on the tang with three brass rivets Construction: 100% forged - tempered, ground, and polished crosswise Origin: Handcrafted in Thiers, France Built for the Carving BoardThe ham knife's long, narrow blade is designed for the long, single pull-stroke that produces paper-thin slices of cured meat, roast leg, or whole poultry with perfectly clean cuts and no tearing. The slight flex in the blade lets it follow the contour of the bone for maximum yield and minimum waste. High carbon steel holds a finer, longer-lasting edge than stainless, keeping every slice clean and precise through an entire carving session. The black POM handle is hand-set on the full tang with three brass rivets for a secure, balanced grip at the carving board.Care & Maintenance Hand wash only - never dishwasher Wipe dry immediately after use - high carbon steel will rust if left wet Apply a light coat of food-safe oil occasionally to protect the blade Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and protects the steel Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
