Z-Cut Pointed Red PlainEdge

Easily recognizable by its Z-shaped profile, Spyderco's US-made Z-Cut series takes the time-tested concept of the “offset” knife to a whole new level. Offset kitchen knives are unique because their handles are positioned above the blade rather than in line with it. As with a classic chef's knife, the blade is thus aligned with the knuckles and at the same time provides sufficient clearance for the fingers when working on a chopping board. In contrast to a conventional chef's knife, however, offset knives are much smaller, lighter and more versatile. The pointed version of Spyderco's Z-Cut knife combines all the advantages of the offset design with a defined tip that is perfect for detailed cutting work. The pointed Z-Cuts feature corrosion-resistant blades made from CTS BD1N stainless steel. The ergonomic polypropylene handle comes in a fiery red color.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
