Stalgast ELITE 200 mm Forged Kitchen Knife

A 200 mm forged kitchen knife cuts through dense or fibrous ingredients with a single draw. The blade's continuous metal edge, shaped from a single piece of alloy steel, distributes force evenly along its length, so the cook applies less effort for each slice. This method also creates a stronger spine and a finer taper to the edge, which keeps the blade sharper for longer periods between honing.

The knife is used by holding the handle firmly and drawing the blade through the ingredient in a single, smooth motion. The 200 mm length allows the cook to slice larger items such as roasts, whole fish or dense vegetables without repositioning, while the forged steel construction prevents the blade from bending or twisting under pressure. The edge is honed to a fine angle, which reduces drag and produces cleaner cuts with less cellular damage to the ingredient.

The blade is made of a special alloy steel that resists corrosion and maintains its edge through repeated use. The entire knife is dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing is recommended to preserve the sharpness of the edge and the finish of the steel.

The 200 mm blade length provides the reach needed for bulk prep work, while the forged construction ensures the knife remains balanced in the hand. The alloy steel material means the knife is durable enough for daily professional use, and the dishwasher-safe design simplifies cleaning in a busy kitchen environment.
