Glestain
The Glestain T type is the most popular range in the Glestain repertoire and has a dimpled/scalloped side to the blade and subsequently this is not suitable for left handed users. The cutting blade is 50/50 meaning it is equal on both sides of the cutting edge and is easy to re sharpen on a stone.
Use and Care
These knives are heavy in the blade and handle but are very well balanced they are tough and have taken a battering in the tests we put them through. Overall the chefs that tested the knives gave it a thumb’s up with an overall score of 8 out of 10.
The chef’s knife is the essential knife to have in any kitchen or chef’s wallet this is a must. The curve of the belly of the blade is distinctive and is used in a rocking motion to chop most foods in the kitchen for herbs and diced carrots to butchering a chicken breast off the bone.
