Forged in Thiers France, this is the top shelf series from K Sabatier and is named for the date of the register of the K trademark. It features a cryogenically treated Z50C13 stainless steel, POM handle and handmade leather sleeve.

The deep freeze treatment refines the structure of the steel gives this steel increased stainless-ness, flexibility, toughness and edge life, thereby increasing it's ability to be thin ground. This series has a lighter weight, sleeker cutting feel and better edge life than the standard stainless series from K Sabatier.
