This is an extremely versatile knife that is a jack-of-all-trades worker. While a large chef knife is great, sometimes you just want a smaller, more nimble knife for some tasks.  This knife is perfect for those situations. It’s a great all purpose knife that works wonderful on the line and for general food prep. While it may not tackle some of your larger food items well, it will handle roughly 80% of most kitchen tasks with ease.  This design has a lot of belly worked into the blade so it’s a great little rocker if that is your preferred cutting style.  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHANDLE DESIGN \u0026amp; MATERIALS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvery one of our knives is handmade, unique and numbered.

We believe it is one of the finest stainless steels available on the market today for use with kitchen knives.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs a side note, there are two things we like to mention about this steel:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.)

AEB-L is a stainless steel but \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ejust barely\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e.  The concept of stainless steel is very misleading because every steel is, at some level, reactive to water and other elements. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe higher carbon content in this stainless is what allows it to get a fine edge and higher hardness compared to many other stainless steels but it also has a tendency to sometimes form very fine rust spots on the blade.  If this happens, these are easily removed with a green or red scotch brite pad and usually the rough end of a kitchen sponge will also do the trick. Take extra care to remove any excess wetness that remain on this blade. Drip drying is NOT recommended. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nora Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31730289115241,"sku":"","price":327.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0344\/0381\/products\/20200103-121144-compress3.jpg?v=1578095015","url":"https:\/\/noraknives.mom\/products\/nora-1634-6-5-inch-utility-good-plenty","provider":"Nora Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
