Riaan Steenberg Japanese knifes made in China and Over priced.
The 8" Frozen Knife from the Pin series is built for one job most knives can't do: cutting clean through solidly frozen meat, fish, and produce without splintering the blade or your block. A long serrated edge bites into frozen food and saws through it, so you skip the half-thaw wait. The blade is 3-layer 10Cr15CoMoV composite steel, vacuum heat treated to 60±2 HRC, set in an olive wood handle. Hand wash only.
Your chef knife is not the right tool for frozen meat. Forcing a sharp, hard edge through a block of frozen mince or a solidly frozen fish fillet risks chipping the blade and still ends up as a sawing exercise that goes nowhere fast. The frozen knife is built for exactly this job: a long, serrated edge designed to bite into hard-frozen food and work through it with controlled strokes rather than brute pressure.
The serrations on an 8-inch frozen knife grip the hard surface that would deflect a straight edge. You work with a back-and-forth motion rather than pushing down, which gives you control over where the cut lands and keeps the knife tracking straight through the block. The 10Cr15CoMoV core is vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, giving the edge enough hardness to resist the stress of cutting frozen product without becoming brittle at low temperatures.
Frozen food is cold, and cold hands slip. The natural olive wood handle gives you something to hold onto - dense grain, no synthetic smooth spots, riveted to a full-tang steel core that keeps the balance consistent even at the far end of an 8-inch blade. The knife's weight is distributed for push-cut work, not for precision slicing, so it feels right when you're working through something rigid.
Pair it with the Pin Series 8" Chef Knife for fresh protein work, and keep this one dedicated to anything that comes out of the freezer.

PIN SERIES
A standard chef knife chips or rolls the moment it hits frozen meat. The Pin 8" Frozen Knife is the opposite. Its long serrated edge is made to saw through hard-frozen blocks, frozen fish, and solidly frozen produce, so you carve portions straight from the freezer. Built on 3-layer 10Cr15CoMoV composite steel at 60±2 HRC, it is a workhorse for the one cut a normal blade dreads.
In stock. Ships from Australia. Hand-wash only.
WHY SERRATED
Frozen surfaces are slick and unforgiving. A flat edge skates across the top or wedges and chips. The serrated teeth on this 8" blade grip the frozen surface and saw through it on the draw stroke, giving you control and clean portions without waiting for the meat to thaw. It is the difference between fighting a frozen block and slicing it.
THE STEEL
The blade is 3-layer 10Cr15CoMoV composite steel, a hard CoMoV cutting core clad in stainless for support. It is vacuum heat treated and finished to 60±2 HRC, hard enough to hold a serrated edge through repeated frozen cuts. The edge is ground to 15 degrees per side. This is functional construction, not cosmetic layering.
Specification
Hand-wash only — not dishwasher safe.
IN THE HAND
The handle is olive wood, fitted hidden-tang for a clean, comfortable grip while you saw through frozen food. Olive wood is dense and warm in the hand; keep it hand washed and oiled occasionally and it lasts. At 8 inches the blade has the length to clear a frozen block in long, controlled strokes.

Yes. The long serrated edge is made to saw through solidly frozen meat blocks, frozen fish, and hard-frozen produce. That is the knife's purpose.
No. It is designed to cut food straight from the freezer, which is the point of a dedicated frozen knife.
3-layer 10Cr15CoMoV composite steel, a CoMoV cutting core clad in stainless, vacuum heat treated to 60±2 HRC.
Yes. It uses a long serrated edge rather than a plain edge, because serrations grip and saw frozen surfaces where a flat edge slips or chips.
Olive wood, fitted hidden-tang. Keep it hand washed and oil it occasionally to protect the wood.
No. Hand wash only. The dishwasher damages the edge and dries out the olive wood.
