The Dexter-Russell Basics P94801 8" cook's knife has a white polypropylene handle and a high-carbon steel, hollow ground blade and can be used to chop and slice foods. The blade is made of high-carbon steel, which is harder than low-carbon steel and resists corrosion, stains, and wear to maintain its edge. The blade is hollow ground with a concave, beveled edge for sharpness. The handle is made of polypropylene, which resists impacts and wear, can be wiped clean, and is textured to help prevent slipping. A finger guard helps keep the user's fingers safely away from the blade. The knife measures 13" long overall, with an 8" blade and a 5" handle. This product meets National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 2 for use in food handling and processing.
