Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web
M240 Chefware Carving Knife
Whether Spyderco's new Chefware is used by the professional or the home chef, we're sure this kitchen cutlery will perform to a master chef's highest expectations. Certainly a classy gift by any standard, the French Cook's Knife, Caring Knife, and Utility/Pairing Knife all feature top of the line MBS-26 stainless steel. Each blade is individually heat treated, oil quenched, and ice tempered. They are then ground and sharpened by hand. The "out-of-the-box" hair-splitting sharpness of these blades will impress you. Wooden handles are riveted to the full tang for sturdy construction and an elegant look. Of course the Spyderco name assures you of the best performance. [1]
Variations
The M240 was originally made in Japan, and:
- features a modified Drop Point Blade shape
- features an wood handle in a so-called 'french-style'
