Terävä Skrama 200 Chef's Knife, N690 Stainless Steel
Believe it or not but the N690 stainless steel Chef’s Skrama is finally here! This is the knife whose actionheroesque toughness destroyed the machinery, shoveled a few tons of crap in the fan, and drove some folks to expand their craft beer hobby into a bulk vodka hobby. But it was worth it since the result is a very lightweight, nicely balanced, and extremely durable kitchen knife. Made in Finland of course.

This knife was supposed to hit the shelves already in 2021 but the toughness of the steel and the size of the knife was such a mighty combination that it caused our multiverse to implode. So it was delayed. And delayed. And delayed until we thought that we had hallucinated the whole thing. But good things are well worth the wait. Size- and design-wise this is very similar to the previous one except that it has a thinner blade made from stainless steel. So, it is quite a bit lighter and the balance is very nice indeed.
To sum it up, this is one impressive Chef’s knife. It might not be as pretty as the expensive Japanese knives that you never dare to use- But it isn't meant to be. It is a proper tool that works very well as a general-purpose kitchen knife - slicing, dicing, slashing, and cutting all sorts of edible stuff. Not people though, good guys don’t eat people. When you get one of these, you can just donate all those remotely knife-like implements of yours to a friend that cooks crappier food.
N690 stainless steel blade
Unlike the regular Terävä knives, this Chef’s knife is made from N690 stainless steel that many consider to be the best conventional stainless steel for knife making. The material is very tough and corrosion-resistant, so it will stay sharp a lot longer than crappy bulk knives. The downside is that it takes a bit longer to sharpen when you finally need to do it..
The blade thickness is 2,2-2,0 mm, so the blade is a lot thinner than the regular Skramas and also thinner than the previous chef’s knife we made. Like everyone who has tried to make sushi with an axe knows, it is a lot easier to slice and dice things with a thinner blade.
Synthetic handle
This kitchen tool comes with a similar handle as Skrama 200, simply because it is a damn good handle. Nice molded thermo-plastic elastomer with a very good grip. It won’t slip off your fingers even when wet.
Care
Stainless steel and the synthetic handle make knifecare a lot easier. It is worth remembering though that no knife was made for washing in the dishwasher or shoving it in the sink to grind against wet and dirty dishes. Washing all the knives by hand and drying them properly is still the best option.

This is very sharp (usual paper sheet test); edge seems perfectly ground. Handle is fairly large (I take size 10-11 gloves) and offers good grip. Fitting is excellent.
One suggestion: although the profile is distinctly Terävä Skrama, there are no identifying markings etched on the blade. It would enhance brand recognition and increase the ‘brag factor’ whilst intimidating other cooks/chefs…

I've got the 240 Skrama so I knew this would be good, but this thing simply hits it out of the park.

Varsin tylsä tehdasteroitettuna, kahva jopa turhan iso (meikäläisellä 11 koon tumppu) ja jos kuitenkin mainostetaan myös retkikokkaukseen, niin kyllä hintaan pitäisi kuulua vähintään joku muovilesta tupeksi.
Omasta mielestäni esim. jotkut Victorinoxen perus keittiöveitset pieksee tämän 100-0 ja hintaakin on niissä alle puolet.
