The most user-friendly knife on the market is available with elegant matte white handles. The pro le blanc line is available in a variety of knife shapes, including the ever-useful paring knife and the “workhorse of the kitchen". Additionally, it can be purchased in two stocked knife blocks, one with self-sharpening slots. The pro le blanc line also conveniently comes in our smaller, lighter design. Pro le blanc slim knives feature a medium-sized handle, a blade profile that is 9% smaller, and a weight that is 24% lighter than our original pro knives. They are perfect for smaller hands. And the lighter weight provides increased nimbleness, ergonomics, and comfort. We boast a unique curved bolster that acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the Asian chopping motion. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.
