197 - Kiwi Brand wide carving knife with a seven inch blade and a black plastic handle.
The blade is made from Japanese high carbon Martensitic stainless steel (SUS420J2) which has been hardened and tempered for optimal sharpness. The razor sharp cutting edge has a double bevelled grind which is perfect for fruit carving. The black plastic handle is made from a durable and hygienic polypropylene.
This knife is also available as a Kom-Kom Brand knife (197kk) with a yellow plastic handle.
Keep the blade away from strong acids or alkalis such as fish sauce or vinegar.Do not use wire wool to clean as it may damage the blade. Wash with a soft sponge and dry immediately.
Avoid putting wooden handled knives in a dishwasher as the high temperature and extended period in water will shrink and dry the wood and will ultimately ruin the knife.
This knife is made with a Japanese high carbon martensitic stainless steel alloy(SUS420J2) which has the benefit of being harder and therefore sharper than many other stainless steels but the trade-off is that they are more prone to staining.
If your knife has a wooden handle, it is recommended to oil the handle occasionally with a food grade oil. The choice of oil is a personal preference however groundnut and rapeseed oil appear to be popular but avoid olive oil as this can go rancid quite quickly. This will help maintain the wood and keep your knife looking like new. Be very careful while doing this to avoid cutting yourself.
Store knives in a dedicated storage solution such as a wooden box or wall hanger, see our knife storage options .
