This model has a 9" blade. The Chris Reeve Sikayo kitchen knife is a head turner and a workhorse. The word Sikayo might have a Japanese sound, but it is the Zulu word for "sharp"! The Sikayo's broad blade is ground only on one side for exceptional slicing and the cutting edge has a good curve that allows cutting with minimal pressure, while facilitating a "rocking" dicing action. The handle is made from UItem1000®, a particularly durable plastic, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. The handle slab on the side against your palm is thicker than the other side, offering a comfortable hold without pressure. The full tang and the grooves in the UItem give excellent radial grip.
This knife is for right-handed use!
