Hexagon Oriental Knife, Granton Edge XJ36018C, 18 cm

The Hexagon Oriental Knife XJ36018C from Ambrogio Sanelli has an 18 cm (7") blade with a symmetric profile and a double edge sharpening, ground with a granton edge: the hollows along the blade reduce friction so slices release cleanly from the steel. It is built for continuous, sliding cuts in professional kitchens and catering operations.

The blade is special nitrogen stainless steel with a semi-polished finish, and Ambrogio Sanelli laser-prints the logo and batch information directly onto the steel for traceability. The distinctive hexagonal handle is Maple wood, with the tang set into thermo-treated beech wood for a secure, comfortable grip.

Ambrogio Sanelli has designed and made professional knives in Italy since 1864. The Hexagon range also includes single-edge Usuba, Deba and Yanagiba Sashimi knives and a double-edge Nakiri and Santoku, all with the same hexagonal maple and beech handle.
