Babish High-Carbon German Steel Clef Kitchen Knife

Introducing the Clef - a revolutionary hybrid knife that combines the precision of a chef’s knife with the utility of a cleaver, giving you the best of both worlds. Crafted from a single piece of high-carbon German steel, the Clef features a perfectly tapered edge and a wide surface area, making it ideal for precise cutting and scooping up freshly-chopped ingredients. The grippy yet sleek handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, allowing for ultimate control and ease of use.

To maintain the quality and sharpness of the Clef, it is important to avoid using automatic dishwashers, as excess heat and detergent can cause damage or staining. Additionally, it is recommended to not allow the blades to soak in water, and to promptly clean off any food residue to prevent stains. Persistent stains can be easily removed with a standard stainless-steel cleanser and polish, and regular sharpening and honing with a sharpener and honing rod will help to keep the knife sharp.

In order to preserve the sharp edges of the Clef, it is best to use it on a wood or soft plastic cutting board, as hard surfaces can dull the blades. It is also important to avoid using the knife to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects, and to handle it with extreme caution to prevent injury. Always store the knife in a safe place, such as a knife block or roll, and keep it away from children.

The Clef has been recognized as the "Standout Knife" of 2022 by Good Housekeeping, and with its high-quality construction, tempered, ground, and polished for maximum sharpness, and full-tang handle providing a balanced and comfortable grip, it is clear that this hybrid chef’s knife and cleaver design is both powerful and precise. With proper care and caution, the Clef is sure to become an invaluable tool in any kitchen.
