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

Lapis lazuli

Pacific Blue is lapis lazuli, deep blue flecked with gold, prized since antiquity as a stone of insight. The chef's knife is where a cook's skill shows most: in an even dice, a clean slice, a knife that goes exactly where it is meant to. Lapis has long been tied to seeing clearly. It suits a cook who keeps learning and keeps getting better.

On the hardware: Nickel Silver lets the gold flecks in the stone supply the warmth. Naval Brass picks up those flecks and carries them into the metal.

Features:

  • Cryogenically treated American super steel with phenomenal sharpness and edge retention
  • Aura 3D contoured gemstone handles with Naval Brass or Nickel Silver hardware for precise all-day handling with minimal fatigue
  • Brass counterweight for perfect balance in motion
  • Advanced blade geometry promoting smooth cuts with efficient rebound and low-friction blade surface for professional fine cooking

Details:

  • 230mm blade length (9.05")
  • 47mm +/- blade height (1.85") [blade height may vary after sharpening]
  • 197 gram knife weight
  • CPM MagnaCut: A Vanadium and Niobium-enriched, high-performance, super steel
