This Chef Knife is designed with an ergonomic, easy-to-grip contoured closed handle, making it ideal for those who have difficulty gripping with their hands, such as those with arthritis. The 7.7" stainless steel blade is set at an angle, which helps to keep the wrist and hand in a natural, stress-free position and minimizes the effort required to cut. The smooth edges of the blade make it perfect for cutting and chopping food. Plus, it's dishwasher safe and weighs in at only 122 grams.
