Forged Steel, Dimpled Blade
Hot-forged X50CrMoV15 steel takes a keen edge, resists corrosion, and sharpens easily. Full-length dimples release ingredients so onions, potatoes, and herbs fall off the blade instead of clinging during bulk prep.
Specifications
- Blade: 7-inch, hot-forged X50CrMoV15 stainless steel
- Feature: full-length dimples (anti-stick granton edge)
- Construction: full tang, exceptional balance
- Handle: heat-treated beechwood
- Includes: protective case and gift box
Sharpening Guide
The blade is sharpened at roughly 15–20 degrees per side. Hone on a steel before each session; sharpen on a 1000/3000-grit whetstone a few times a year. Avoid the dishwasher — hand wash and dry the beechwood handle immediately.
Comparison & Alternatives
German forged santokus in this steel class run $150–$250. At $86, the Les Forgés 1890 undercuts them all while including a case and gift box — the strongest forged-knife value in the storefront.
