The asymmetrical B grind that Dan pioneered sets this knife apart from typical Western or Japanese blades, incorporating both a wide fuller at the top of the blade and a secondary narrow fuller along the right face. These fullers dramatically reduce weight while minimizing drag, ensuring that slices glide smoothly and ingredients release swiftly. Constructed from CPM 3V steel—one of Dan’s personal favorites—this blade boasts exceptional sharpness potential and remarkable edge retention, making it a formidable tool for the discerning cook.

This careful engineering perfectly aligns with CPM 3V’s resilient characteristics, delivering strength without compromising on lightness or edge stability. Repeated sharpening sessions are kept to a minimum, as the steel’s high wear-resistance means it holds a keen edge far longer than many other alloys. For those who wish to learn more about the specialized qualities of CPM 3V, a quick web search reveals its esteemed reputation among knife enthusiasts.
