The nCamp Elite Chef-style Food Prep Knife is a folding kitchen knife built for cooking away from the kitchen. The blade is a Damascus pattern wrapped around a 10Cr15MoV stainless core, the same steel that gives it a keen edge while holding up to damp coolers and salt air. It opens to 10.5 inches, folds down to 5.75 inches, and weighs 5.8 ounces, so it tucks into a chuck box or pack without the worry of a loose, exposed edge.
The blade follows a classic Western chef profile, which makes it a strong all-rounder for slicing, dicing, and rock-chopping. Reviewers have run it through chicken breasts, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, and broccoli and found it sharp enough to cut vegetables thin enough to see through. Signature cut-outs near the spine drop weight and double as a thumb hole, so you can swing the blade open and closed with one hand. A liner lock snaps the blade in place once it is open, and the dark walnut handle is scalloped at the balance point for a secure grip in a few different hold styles.
This is the Elite edition, which adds a custom leather case with a belt loop for carry and storage. The knife is designed in the USA. It is at home on a tailgate, a picnic table, a galley, or your kitchen counter at the cabin.
