WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

At about €13, the value case is unusually concrete: hot-forged MoVa stainless, 56 HRC, full tang, riveted POM and a purpose-designed stable tip. It is not selected for the brand name or an exotic steel claim.

9/10

Care Practicality

Stainless plus POM suits real-world wet-kitchen use; hand wash remains best practice.

9/10

Task Fit

Designed specifically for peeling, trimming and coring rather than heavy work.

IDEAL FOR

·Budget-minded serious cooks
·Peeling and coring
·Wet or high-use kitchens

NOT FOR

·People seeking a hard Japanese-style edge
·Bones, frozen food or prying
·Luxury wood-handle aesthetics

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

It has a clean, professional forged-bolster look and a compact POM handle that gives a stable pivot for in-hand work. Less elegant than wood or Japanese composite designs, but visually coherent and highly functional.

LONGEVITY

The tough, forged stainless platform should last for decades with normal honing and sharpening. POM is water resistant; do not use the small pointed blade for leverage or heavy chopping.
