kitchen knife 22 cm

Kitchen knife with a 22 cm blade, of the chef's carving-knife type, designed for everyday work in both professional and home kitchens. The 22 cm blade length makes it suitable for carving, slicing and cutting meat, roasts, poultry, vegetables and larger food items, offering a long, continuous cutting stroke that reduces the number of passes needed.

Kitchen knives in this class typically feature a stainless steel blade: stainless steel resists the corrosion caused by the acidic juices of foods and by frequent washing and sanitising, keeping the blade hygienic over time. The edge should be maintained regularly with a honing steel (realigning/truing the edge before use) and periodically re-sharpened on a stone or sharpener: proper care preserves cutting precision and operator safety, since a sharp knife requires less force and is less prone to slipping.

It is advisable to replace the knife when the blade shows deep nicks along the edge, a broken tip, deformation or an edge that is worn out and can no longer be recovered by sharpening, or when the handle no longer provides a firm, safe grip.
