The balanced legend

The Classic is – we believe – an exemplary take on a mid-sized European chef’s knife; comfortable, balanced and precise with a fantastic rocking action along the length of the blade. It is just as perfectly at home preparing a rack of lamb as it is a stack of turnips, and will find a home with new and experienced cooks alike.

As with many of our knives, what sets this blade apart is its lightness and the feeling of dexterity you have when wielding it. For very precise work across a wide range of tasks, from topping radishes with its heel and scouring loaves with its tip, it has almost no competition – and if you really want precision then we highly recommend the contoured handle.

As with every Savernake, the Classic features our trademark concave blade, expertly blended into a tapering convex cutting edge. The blade’s concavity allows the knife to have both a sturdy spine and a cutting edge best measured in microns. It also removes excess weight and encumbrance from the side of the blade and is – in short – the business.

Highlights

  • "Outstanding" sharpness and edge durability
  • 60 HRC Sandvik 14c28n
  • Designed for gentle, frequent maintenance on a steel
  • Superb Lightweight all-rounder

    I have now received my knife: it is amazing, thank you! My wife has already complained about how all our meals now consist of finely julienned vegetables.
