Stiletthælnål
Stiletthælnål Pronounced: stee-LEHT-hail-nawl | Meaning: “Stiletto-heel needle” Meet a striking culinary tool designed for precision and elegance. The extraordinary patterned steel billet for this piece was forged in collaboration with Standen Knives. Categorized as a kitchen, food preparation, and barbecue slicer, this knife features a slim utility profile. It boasts a double hollow grind and a wicked, acute point, leading into a sweeping belly that is perfect for meticulous detail work and long, efficient slicing draws. The handle is crafted into an ergonomic, faceted "coffin" shape with a comfortable bird's beak butt, ensuring a secure and balanced grip during use.
