This is my
SwedeTech #3006 vegetable knife, which I've had several months now. I like it a lot and will probably get another ceramic knife made by them. And this time it won't take 11 years between ceramic knives.
It's very sharp and works very well on vegetables of all kinds I use as food. The feeling when cutting is a bit different from a steel knife, but it's hard to describe in words.
For once, I haven't weighed and measured it myself, so here's the basic date from the manufacturer's web site:
Overall length: 278 mm
Blade length: 160 mm
Blade thickness: 2.2 mm
Weight 0.111 kg.
(See my old
knife web page to see what other kitchen knives I have used.)
This knife born out of a wish to make a good
Finnish knife for the armed forces (but as it happened, a
Swedish unit was the first military unit to purchase it).
A main design point was that the
first business of a knife is to cut well.
For this reason, it's not made of stainless steel, but
forged carbon steel. The blade can then be thinner than a
stainless steel knife equally strong, which helps
performance.
It's coated with black teflon.
