The 2-inch blade height provides knuckle clearance, while the chamfered spine and choil make a chef's pinch grip more comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zuma blade is hammer forged from American BG42 stainless steel, with a thick spine that tapers toward the tip. A convex bevel, sharpened by hand using traditional Japanese water grinding, helps the blade move through food with less resistance. An octagonal ebony wood handle forms a permanent, seamless fit to the blade tang. Handcrafted in China, this knife is thin behind the edge and requires care to avoid damaging the cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHammer-forged BG42 stainless steel blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistal taper reduces blade thickness toward the tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-sharpened convex bevel for low-resistance cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctagonal ebony wood handle with a seamless tang fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChamfered spine and choil for a comfortable pinch grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlatter gyuto edge profile supports tap chopping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chef's Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting edge length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e American BG42 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hammer forged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Convex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal ebony wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick near the handle with distal taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening:\u003c\/strong\u003e By hand using traditional Japanese water grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin behind the edge; handle carefully to avoid cutting-edge damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the blade shape help with tap chopping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chef's knife has a flatter gyuto edge profile that makes full contact with the cutting board for easier tap chopping.
