The **Chris Reeve Sikayo chef's knife, 16 cm** can only be called remarkable. Sikayo might sound Japanese, but it means sharp in Zulus. The exceptionally sharp edge of the Sikayo definitely lives up to its name. The high blade is sharpened on one side to make sure the knife is razor-sharp. Because of the curve in the edge you don’t' have to apply pressure while cutting and you can easily make a rocking movement which make a chef's knife so efficient. Because of the finish of the blade and the shape of the scales on the handle this knife is meant for right-handed use.

 Are you not exactly sure what the right cutting technique is for a chef's knife? Here are [five tips to safely and efficiently use a chef's knife.](/en/ct/five-tips-to-cut-with-a-chefs-knife.htm )

 ### Blade

 The full-tang blade is made from CPM S35VN. A stainless type of 'super steel' developed by Chris Reeve in cooperation with Crucible Steel Company. CPM S35VN was specifically designed for knives and other cutting tools. This is not the first Chris Reeve knife that is made from this type of steel. For that reason we can say for sure that this type of steel is incredibly popular amongst the experts. It is hard but easy to sharpen, retains its sharpness for a very long time and won't easily chip. The steel contains 0.5% niobium. That doesn't sound like a lot, but because of the addition of this element CPM S25VN is 20% stronger than its predecessor: S30V.

 ### Handle

 The handle is made from Ultem 1000. An incredibly strong polyetherimide resin with a glass transition temperature of 217 degrees Celsius and a melting point of well over 400 degrees Celsius! In addition, it has a high chemical resistance to salt, acid, alcohol and other corrosive substances. It won't easily break or tear, is incredibly hygienic and easy to clean. The end of the handle is enhanced with an opening to make sure you can hang the knife. Ultem 1000 is relatively translucent which is why you can see the Chris Reeve logo on the steel through the handle.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

Way of sharpening

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
