CPM MagnaCut blade. Stays sharp, resists chipping and doesn't rust. Why MagnaCut →

White marble with gold inlay

Hollywood is white marble with a fine line of gold running through it. On Calafia, the knife that does the most work in the kitchen, it brings a sense of occasion to every night's cooking, not just the dinner parties. A chef's knife is used almost daily, and this one is made to be worth keeping for life. It suits a cook who wants beautiful things that also get used hard.

On the hardware: Naval Brass picks up the gold inlay. Nickel Silver lets the white marble lead.
