Ridgeback 190 Wide Prep Knife

The Ridgeback 190 is a wide, stable prep knife built for fast board work and confident slicing. With a 190 mm blade length and 55 mm blade height, it gives you solid knuckle clearance and a planted feel on the cutting surface, while still staying controllable in the hand.

The blade has a rugged textured finish across the upper section, with a cleaner working bevel lower down where it does the cutting. That textured look hides day to day marks better than a full polish finish and gives the knife a serious working character, without claiming any specific manufacturing process.

The hardwood handle is shaped for comfort and control, pinned for strength, and designed for longer prep sessions without hot spots.

This is the kind of knife that fits naturally into South African life, whether you are prepping at the braai, cooking at camp, or packing for the veld. Many people searching braaiplank are really looking for a practical, board focused blade like this.
