KX04 Homemaker
Better than a home-wrecker, the only thing the Homemaker will wreck is your expectation of cutting with a dull kitchen knife. Categorized as a mid-sized utility knife, the KX04 puts professional grade kitchen-knife features in your kitchen or picnic basket.
Distally tapered and round, the ebony wood handle is slimmer near the blade, expanding at the back -- giving you more handle to grip, control, and manipulate the cutting edge. Doubly riveted for solid and tight handle/blade connection. The blade's steel is elevated-performance MDS that receives justified accolades for edge retention and rust repellent abilities. On the front of the blade is a Granton edge -- a line of oval dimpled serrations, which create pockets of air between the blade and food, inhibiting the food from sticking to the blade. Handwashing recommended. [1]
Variations
The KX04 is originally made in Seki City, Japan, and:
- features a modified Drop Point Blade shape
- features a black ebony handle
- features a rounded and sharpened tip
