Its specially developed construction, with a forward-shifted center of gravity and an ergonomic handle whose design is protected by patent offices as a globally valid industrial design, reduces cutting effort—the pressure on the blade is applied perpendicularly rather than at an angle, making cutting easier and more precise. The recommended grip is with your thumb or index finger resting against the handle’s beak. The saber-shaped blade made from premium Damascus steel further facilitates smooth slicing, and the handle is shaped so your knuckles do not hit the cutting board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 28px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003eThe SARACEN® concept was designed by \u003cstrong style=\"color: #eb2b29;\"\u003eCzech engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e: the forward-shifted center of gravity, handle shape, and blade curvature are the result of Czech development, not a copy of an established knife design.
