"Slices through vegetables like soft butter."
The default blade in most kitchens and the one you'll reach for without thinking. Long enough to work through a pile of onions, tall enough to keep your knuckles off the board, and light enough that most people are surprised the first time they pick it up. The hammered face and dark forge marks along the spine mean it doesn't look like anything else in the drawer, and the rosewood handle settles into your grip rather than sitting in it.
