TWO SIZES PREMIUM HANDLE WITH FERRULE
VAY comes with a blade shape that is rather unusual in Australia and yet very beautiful. Once you’re used to it you will notice that the swing makes it ideal for weighing (rocking style) herbs and spices. Leafy greens and other vegetables, carrots, pumpkin and cabbages can be easily processed with VAY, as well as slicing and cutting meats or cheeses. The smaller versions are especially well suited for herbs, onion, garlic, cheeses, or fruits, the larger ones for vegetables, pizza or as a cake server. The following applies: the larger the blade, the less effort is required. The weight of the knife works in your favour. ‘The Sail’ is also popular for hunting and skinning animals.
VAY is available in versions with 1mm thin semi-polished blades with thinner handle (regular), or the 2mm thick fully polished blades with the round thicker handle (premium version).
On our own behalf: The knives are made entirely by hand by small family businesses in Vietnam. A comparison with the quality of CNC-lasered and sharpened mass-produced goods is unnecessary. Each handle is carved by hand and the blades are cut out with large tin snips without punching. The knives may have small blemishes. However, these do not reduce their suitability for everyday use and operational strength, but rather enhance their individuality and specialness. Please take this into account when making your purchase decision!
