## Description

Chef’s knife + Cleaver = Clef. This hybrid knife gives you the best of both worlds. It marries the precision of a chef’s knife with the utility of a cleaver, featuring both a perfectly tapered edge with a wide surface area perfect for scooping up freshly-chopped ingredients. Precision-forged form a single piece of high-carbon German Steel, it features a grippy yet sleek handle that provides a secure, comfortable grip. Any way you cut it, it’s a cut above. Excess heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can damage or stain the blades, so dishwashers are not recommended. Do not allow blades to soak in water. Do not allow food to remain on blade after use, as this may cause stains. In most cases, persistent stains can be easily removed with a standard stainless-steel cleanser & polish. Use a sharpener and honing rod between uses to keep knives sharp. It’s recommended to use a whetstone or have your knives professionally sharpened once or twice a year. (See more sharpening instructions below.) To preserve sharp edges, use knives on a wood or soft plastic cutting board. Hard surfaces such as countertops, dinner plates, or glass cutting boards will dull blades. Knives are not made to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects. Love this knife and it will love you back. Use extreme caution to protect against injury. These knives are extremely sharp. I’m not kidding, I seriously mangled my finger with this knife when we were shooting promo videos, and I kinda-sorta know what I’m doing. Never use a knife as a can opener, pry bar, screwdriver, wedge, or hand tool. Never handle a knife by the blade. Keep sharp edges pointed away from you when laying a knife down. Never attempt to catch a falling knife. Keep all knives away from children. Store properly in a knife block, roll, or other safe place.

Review: Excellent stays sharp well made - Excellent banger knives that I can throw in my dishwasher, we have gifted these to a few people. Not scared to bang these up at the price point compared to a $500 set that we have. Good knives to have in your drawer. This is how mine looks after about two/three years of dishwasher washing. looks a little banged up, but trust me holding up really well and still very very sharp.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What would I use the clef knife for vs the chef/santoku?**
A: Great question! The Clef knife marries the precision of a chef’s knife with the utility of a cleaver, featuring both a perfectly tapered edge with a wide surface area perfect for scooping up freshly-chopped ingredients.

**Q: What is the bevel angle?**
A: Well unless you are doing the manual angle yourself it’s about 13-15 degrees. However I suggest mimicking the angle on this knife the best way to do this is with a sharpie. Run the side of the sharpie on the grind edge on both sides and sharpen until the sharpie is gone. The work your burr and leather strap for the finishing touches. I recommend doing this with all of you knifes unless you are confident in doing a correct convex edge. Anyway saber grinds with a micro edge are great for king Chen knife edges. Also a side note avoid the tough steels for kitchen knifes. Just gone or strap your edge b4 every use and you will be good!

**Q: Where are they manufactured?**
A: China

**Q: For sharpening purposes, what is the bevel angle these have from the manufacturer? Thanks!**
A: It is roughly 20 degrees. Double bevel

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely sharp, well balanced, and highly useful
*by T***N on January 4, 2022*

This is the second knife of Babish's I've purchased (also have the Santoku) and they are both amazing. To start, a knife needs to be functional and balanced, and this knife nails it. I've used it for a wide variety of items so far and it simply feels great in the hand while slicing, dicing, chopping, cutting, etc. It cuts through everything with ease and sophistication. The taller blade works great to scoop up what I'm cutting and easily add to whatever I'm making. Doesn't matter if it's herbs, vegetables, meat, etc., everything has been handled with ease. I can't stress enough the balance and feel of this knife (along with the Santoku knife). They have good weight to them but in all the right places. Extremely impressed and will continue to build out my Babish kitchenary gadgetry :-) So far have this knife, the Santoku, and tiny wisks - all of which are exceptionally useful and perform amazing. I do a ton of cooking and got to really put these through their paces making multiple elaborate meals of the holidays. Felt like all I did was cook but these really stepped up and did their part. They are also an exceptional value. I have other knives which were significantly more expensive and I prefer these due to their performance and feel. Can't go wrong with these knives.
