Babish High-Carbon German Steel Knife: 7.5 Clef - Top Pick for 2022 from Good Housekeeping

Introducing the Clef knife - a fusion of a chef’s knife and a cleaver, offering the best of both worlds. This unique blade combines the precision of a chef’s knife with the functionality of a cleaver, boasting a tapered edge for accuracy and a wide surface area for easy scooping of ingredients. Crafted from a single piece of high-carbon German Steel, the Clef knife features a sleek handle that ensures a secure and comfortable grip.

To maintain the quality of your Clef knife, it is advised to avoid using automatic dishwashers as excess heat and detergent can cause damage or staining. Additionally, refrain from letting the blades soak in water or allowing food residue to remain on the blade to prevent stains. For any persistent stains, a stainless-steel cleanser & polish can be used for easy removal. Regular sharpening with a sharpener and honing rod is recommended to keep the knife in top condition. Consider using a whetstone or professional sharpening services once or twice a year for optimal results.

To prolong the sharpness of the blade, use the knife on wood or soft plastic cutting boards, as hard surfaces like countertops or glass cutting boards can dull the blade. Avoid cutting bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects with the knife to maintain its sharpness. Handle the knife with caution as it is extremely sharp, ensuring it is stored safely away from children and never used for purposes other than cutting. Proper storage in a knife block or roll is essential to prevent accidents.

The Clef knife has been recognized as the "Standout Knife" of 2022 by Good Housekeeping, forged from high-quality German steel and expertly tempered, ground, and polished for maximum sharpness. The full-tang handle ensures a balanced and comfortable grip, while the hybrid design combines the power of a cleaver with the precision of a chef’s knife. Enjoy the exceptional performance of the Clef knife while following these care instructions to ensure its longevity and sharpness.
