the BA (Bon Appétit) Chef Knife 10in is a professional-grade kitchen workhorse, favored for its large blade size and durability.

Key Specifications & Features

Blade Length: 10 inches (approx. 25 cm). This extended length provides significant leverage for cutting through large vegetables (like pumpkins or cabbage) and slicing large cuts of meat.
Material: Crafted from high-carbon stainless steel, which is chosen for its balance of rust resistance and long-lasting sharpness.
PVC Sleeve: The knife includes a protective PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) sleeve. This is essential for safety when storing the knife in a drawer and protects the blade edge from dulling against other tools.
Handle: Features an ergonomic, non-slip handle designed to provide a secure grip even when hands are wet or greasy, reducing fatigue during heavy-duty chopping.
Design: It follows a classic Western-style chef's knife profile with a curved blade that allows for a "rocking" motion while mincing and dicing.

Maintenance & Usage

Cleaning: To preserve the carbon steel's integrity, it is highly recommended to hand wash the knife with warm soapy water and dry it immediately.
Safety: Always return the knife to its PVC sleeve after cleaning to prevent accidental cuts and maintain the edge's precision.
Dishwasher Note: While stainless steel is durable, dishwashers are discouraged for professional knives as the high heat and chemicals can degrade the handle and dull the blade edge.
