What exact knife model and blade size is this?
The official listing names it Cooking Knife 8 in, reference 1110CUI20POA, in the Sabatier Authentique range. Its blade size is 8 inches (20 cm).
What materials and construction does the knife use?
The product page describes a knife forged from one mass of Z50C13 stainless steel. Its black POM handle scales are manually fitted to the tang with three through-rivets; the characteristics list identifies the rivets as aluminum.
What foods is this chef's knife intended to handle?
The maker describes the broad, rigid blade for slicing thick meat, cutting vegetables and fruit, and chopping or mincing aromatic herbs. The warranty guidance limits kitchen-knife use to meat, vegetables, or fresh fruit and excludes frozen or deep-frozen food.
How should this knife be washed and dried?
Sabatier does not recommend dishwasher use. Its care guidance says to wash the knife and dry it immediately rather than leave it wet, which is the stated routine for these stainless-steel kitchen knives.
What blade hardness does the official listing report?
The same product page contains two hardness entries: its description states Rockwell 54–56 HRC, while the characteristics table says 55–57 HRC. These figures should be treated as the maker's reported range rather than silently reconciled.
What remedies does the seller describe for a defective knife?
For a product acknowledged by the seller as defective, the warranty page describes repair, replacement with the same product, or replacement by equivalent value if it is no longer made. A nonconforming product may be returned for exchange or reimbursement; latent-defect claims require the product and a copy of the invoice.
