Discover our Nella 12 - inch Chef Knife with a beautiful wood handle (Model 11478). Crafted from top - quality stainless steel, it's built for strength and long - lasting use. Measuring 2 5/8 inches wide and 1 inch high, this knife comes in a rich dark brown color. Unlike average 8 - 10 inch cook knives, its blade heel, the widest part, gives you excellent leverage when slicing tough ingredients. Available in various handle types, colors, and blade configurations to meet your cooking needs.

Using this Nella chef knife is easy. When you're slicing, place the heel of the blade on the ingredient and use it as a pivot point for maximum leverage, especially when dealing with tough items. Always hold the handle firmly to ensure safety. As for maintenance, hand - wash the knife right after use with mild dish soap and warm water. Dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Don't put it in the dishwasher as the high - pressure water and harsh detergents can damage the blade and the wood handle. Store the knife in a knife block or a sheath to protect the blade and prevent accidents.
