The eXo Blue series is a collection of knives that not only look amazing but are also built to last. These knives are made with tough micarta scales and feature a strong Nitro-V blade steel with a protective Cerakote finish. The 8.5" chef knife in this series is perfect for any home or professional kitchen. It combines the best of both worlds, with a thin Japanese style blade and the sturdiness of a heavy-duty Western style knife. With this knife, you can confidently tackle any cutting task.
