Tradição Household Knife 17 cm – Jatobá Wood

High-Volume Preparation: The ICEL Tradição Professional Household Knife

For diverse culinary tasks that require more leverage than a utility knife but more agility than a full-sized chef's knife, the ICEL 17 cm Tradição Household Knife serves as a versatile, mid-length instrument. This 17 cm profile is specifically engineered for general kitchen work, offering the precision needed for slicing produce, trimming proteins, or prepping dense vegetables. The traditional straight-edge geometry ensures clean, low-resistance cuts, making it a foundational tool for professionals who favor a slightly more compact and manageable blade for all-day prep stations.

Crafted for Durability and Natural Ergonomics

The functional core of this knife is a 17 cm blade forged from high-performance X50CrMoV15 high-carbon stainless steel, tempered to 56 HRC. This metallurgical composition provides a resilient, sharp edge that withstands the mechanical stress of heavy board work while remaining easy to re-hone.

In a specialized variation for the Tradição line, this model features a handle crafted from Natural Jatobá Wood (Brazilian Cherry). Known for its extreme hardness and exceptional moisture resistance, the Jatobá handle is secured with three robust stainless steel rivets for a seamless, permanent bond. To maintain the wood's structural integrity and rich reddish-brown finish, this knife requires hand-washing and immediate drying.
