Icel Douro Gourmet Chef's Knife - Sharp Precision in the Kitchen
The Icel Douro Gourmet chef's knife features a 20 cm blade length that combines durability and functionality in an ergonomic design. The stainless steel blade with high chromium alloy (X50CrMoV15) ensures sharpness and precision, while the black micarta handle provides a secure grip. The knife is made with full-tang construction for optimal balance and stability during use.
Ideal for professional chefs and food enthusiasts who appreciate precision work when preparing meat, fish, vegetables, and herbs.
Professional Sharpness and Durability
With a hardness of 56 HRC, the Icel Douro Gourmet chef's knife offers the perfect balance between sharpness and wear resistance. The stainless steel with chromium-molybdenum-vanadium makes the blade resistant to corrosion and retains its cutting properties for a long time. The full-tang construction, where the metal extends through the entire handle, provides the knife with excellent balance and strength, reducing fatigue during extended use.
Ergonomic Comfort for Demanding Tasks
The ergonomically shaped micarta handle is designed to minimize strain during intensive use. The material is resistant to both moisture and heat, making it ideal for the kitchen environment. Weighing only 170 grams, the knife is light enough for precision work, yet heavy enough to provide the necessary force for tougher cutting tasks. The knife's balance and ergonomics reduce the risk of hand fatigue, even during prolonged cooking sessions.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain the knife's quality and sharpness for as long as possible, it should be hand-washed and thoroughly dried after use. The knife is not dishwasher safe, as this can affect both sharpness and the durability of the handle. Regular maintenance with a honing steel extends the time between sharpenings. If professional sharpening is needed, H.W. Larsen offers specialized service with over 85 years of experience.
