It is essentially a Japanese paring knife, designed for precise work with fruits and other produce. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KDM08 is part of Veark's fully forged collection of knives. It is drop forged from a single piece of stainless steel by experienced craftsmen in the respected town of Solingen, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea for the collection was drawn from the belief that the knife is a tool - maybe even the most essential tool in the kitchen. We took visual cues from the world of traditional metal tools to create a unique signature that is both visually appealing and highly functional.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drop forging process leaves each knife with an individual pattern on the handle. A beautiful detail that makes each knife unique while serving as a reminder of the honest craftsmanship that went into its making. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll their forged knives are fully symmetrical and 100% suitable for left- and right-handed use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8cm (2.75”)blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e58 HRC (hardness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e115g weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid stainless steel (X50CrMoV15 \/ 1.4116 \/ 420MoV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knives are sharpened by hand to just below 30° (both sides combined).
