Glestain Indented-Blade Sole Knife 9.7" (25cm)

In 1971, Mr. Akira Honma started Honma Science Limited in Niigata Prefecture in northern Japan. Honma Sciene Ltd. designs and produces the unique Glestain brand knives using advanced, computerized techniques. Glestain's signature Acuto Steel is one of the finest stain-resistant knife steels available. The chefs at Tokyo's famous Hotel Okura use Glestain, and a growing number of American chefs are choosing Glestain knives as well. Glestain knives are immediately recognizable by their unique design. "Dimples" in the blade's surface reduce surface tension between the blade and the food being cut, allowing faster, easier, and more efficient cutting. The blade is constructed of Glestain's original Acuto steel, which undergoes a sub-zero manufacturing process that ensures a very hard (HRC 58-59) and durable edge. Each Glestain knife comes with a balanced, water-resistant hardwood handle fastened with stainless steel rivets.
