It is an extremely versatile knife that is a jack-of-all-trades worker and should serve you well in the kitchen and on the line. Its compact and sleek but also tough enough to handle some of the heavier lifting in the kitchen, including protein breakdown.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBe aware that this knife excels at push and pull cuts along with chopping. What it does not excel at is rocking.  There is very little belly (none actually) on this knife so if you prefer a rocking motion when cutting then we would suggest our chef or gyuto design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHANDLE DESIGN \u0026amp; MATERIALS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvery one of our knives is handmade, unique and numbered.  This NORA is as simple and classic as they come.  We took a beautiful piece of stabilized flame cherry wood and we added black G10 liners.  The liners help with overall durability of the knife and pins are a classic brass.  The look is simple and timeless.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood stabilization is an added feature that we offer with our knives and spalted wood, in particular, benefits greatly from stabilization. Wood that is stabilized has been injected with a clear acrylic resin under a \u003cspan color=\"#ff0000\"\u003evacuum process. Stabilization helps to minimize any cracking, warping, shrinkage and\/or expanding of the material. \u003c\/span\u003eStabilized wood will not absorb water and is generally impervious to oils.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSTEEL INFORMATION:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAEB-L STAINLESS STEEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis knife blade is composed of AEB-L stainless steel which is a high-quality Swedish metal, originally developed for razor blades.  Recently, steel suppliers have made this steel available in thicker sheets and it has proven to be an excellent adaptation for the cutlery industry.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAEB-L has a beautiful balance of carbon and chromium and, with proper heat treatment, this steel produces both a very fine edge as well as excellent toughness and edge stability.  The fine grain structure also makes this steel very easy to sharpen. We believe it is one of the finest stainless steels available on the market today for use with kitchen knives.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs a side note, there are two things we like to mention about this steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.) This steel responds \u003ci\u003ebeautifully\u003c\/i\u003e to honing and if the knife is honed regularly it should need infrequent sharpening.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.) AEB-L is a stainless steel but \u003ci\u003ejust barely\u003c\/i\u003e.  The concept of stainless steel is very misleading because every steel is, at some level, reactive to water and other elements. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\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\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nora Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21790270423145,"sku":"","price":334.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0344\/0381\/products\/1553113963502401.jpg?v=1571438976","url":"https:\/\/noraknives.mom\/products\/nora-huck-7-inch-line-slayer-flame-cherry-wood","provider":"Nora Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
