The Scorpion Series 9.5” Chef knife is a longer chef knife with a slightly curved belly and a stinger-like tip, ideal for rock-chops, long slices and even skinning and portioning meat. Hardened with cobalt for increased durability, and resistance to the acids, salts, and other corrosives of kitchen life. Versatility and ruthless efficiency make this blade an essential for every serious chef’s knife bag. If you can only take one knife, make it this all around workhorse.
