This means you apply pressure to the blade perpendicularly instead of at an angle, so you cut more precisely and with less effort. The Eclipse range adds elegant, lightweight construction and a differently shaped handle designed for a pinch grip with fingers directly on the blade - a style preferred by cooks accustomed to the so-called pinch grip. The razor-sharp, saber-shaped blade is forged from premium Damascus steel.\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 shifted center of gravity, handle shape, and blade curvature are the result of Czech development, not a copy of an established knife design.
