{"product_id":"lion-sabatier-koksmes-ideal-perigord-15-cm","title":"Lion Sabatier Chef's Knife Idéal Périgord Walnut Wood 15 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou know the feeling: a knife that pulls, tears, or gets stuck - and you're struggling with an onion while dinner should already be on the table. That's exactly what the \u003cstrong\u003eLion Sabatier Chef's Knife Idéal Périgord Walnut Wood 15 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e does not do. This is the knife that lets you cook - smoothly, quickly, and with the joy that cooking should bring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Idéal Périgord chef's knife is fully forged from a single piece of \u003cstrong\u003e4116 Nitro+ steel\u003c\/strong\u003e - nitrogen-enriched stainless steel with a hardness of 58-60 HRC. That sounds technical, but what you feel in practice is simple: a knife that stays sharp, feels pleasantly heavy without being cumbersome, and is perfectly balanced in your hand. Made in Thiers, the French heart of knife-making craftsmanship. Here they know what a good knife is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this knife is a keeper in your kitchen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForged from a single piece\u003c\/strong\u003e - Blade, bolster, and tang are formed from one solid piece of steel. No loose parts, no weak spots - just a knife that lasts for generations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharp out of the box, easy to sharpen\u003c\/strong\u003e - You don't need to take it to a sharpener before you can start. And if it loses some sharpness after intensive use, you can easily sharpen it back to top condition with a European sharpening stone or whetstone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle made of walnut wood\u003c\/strong\u003e - Three stainless steel rivets securely hold the warm, dark walnut handle in place. It not only looks beautiful - it also feels just right in the hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll-rounder for every preparation technique\u003c\/strong\u003e - Chopping vegetables, portioning meat, filleting fish, finely chopping herbs with a rocking motion - this knife does it all without complaint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15 cm: the ideal balance\u003c\/strong\u003e - Big enough to get serious work done, compact enough for precision. This size works for cooks of all levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eForged craftsmanship from Thiers - what that really means\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThiers is not just any city. It is the quintessential French knife-making city, where generations of craftsmen have made knives that have evolved with French cuisine. Lion Sabatier carries on that tradition - but with contemporary material technology. The 4116 Nitro+ steel is an addition to the classic stainless steel that you can truly feel: the nitrogen enrichment makes the steel harder, more corrosion-resistant, and easier to sharpen. This translates into a cutting edge that stays sharp longer and requires less maintenance than many other knives in this class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bolster - that thickened part between the blade and handle - is part of the forging process and gives your hand a natural stop. This way, your hand does not slide towards the blade, even when you are chopping quickly and powerfully. That's not a detail, that's craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe knife that makes cooking feel like cooking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a difference between cutting and truly cooking. With a good knife, the entire experience in the kitchen changes: you move more fluidly, you work faster, you have more control. The Idéal Périgord chef's knife has a slightly curved edge that invites you to work with a rocking motion - the technique every cook knows for finely chopping parsley, basil, or a mountain of onion. Try it once and you'll understand why chefs become so attached to their knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe walnut handle feels warm in the hand - literally and figuratively. No cold plastic, no smooth metal, but wood with character. Each handle has its own grain pattern. Your knife is therefore literally unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the weight? Exactly 100 grams. Light enough to work with for long periods without a tired wrist, heavy enough to cut with authority. That balance is no coincidence - that is design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to keep this knife in top shape for years\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA knife like this deserves a little attention, and it gives that back double and more. The rule is simple: \u003cstrong\u003ealways wash by hand and dry immediately\u003c\/strong\u003e. The dishwasher is the great enemy of knives with a wooden handle - the wood shrinks, the blade rusts, the balance disappears. If you do it right, you literally have a knife for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably use a wooden or plastic cutting board. Glass or stone boards wear down your cutting edge unnecessarily quickly. And do not store this knife loose in a drawer - use a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath. This way, the cutting edge stays sharp and you stay happy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e💡 \u003cstrong\u003eCookinglife Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Give your knife a touch-up every few weeks with a whetstone or sharpening rod - even if it still feels sharp. Regular maintenance is much easier than waiting until it is really dull. The Idéal Périgord chef's knife follows European sharpening standards, so any standard sharpening rod or whetstone works perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lion Sabatier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Idéal Périgord\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chef's Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4116 Nitro+ steel (nitrogen-enriched stainless steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58-60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walnut wood with 3 stainless steel rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver \/ Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening method:\u003c\/strong\u003e European\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No - wash by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Thiers, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLion Sabatier Chef's Knife Idéal Périgord Walnut Wood 15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the knife you should have bought years ago.
