Blade steel: forged 95X18 (HRC 58) is a high–alloy stainless steel of domestic production, widely recognized for excellent anti-corrosion properties and decent wear resistance. The hardness of 58 HRC means an optimal balance between the ability to sharpen and the durability of the cutting edge: the knife retains its sharpness even during daily work, but remains decently plastic and is not prone to brittleness.
Handle material: wenge and duralumin is a combination of valuable African wood and aviation aluminum alloy. Wenge is known for its durability, resistance to moisture and a unique deep pattern that gives the product a stately appearance. The duralumin ensures an accurate fit of the knots, is not afraid of bumps, does not warp or crack, and also increases the overall wear resistance of the handle. This combination of materials guarantees a reliable grip even in wet conditions, as well as long years of service without a hint of loss of aesthetics or functionality.
Geometry and parameters of the blade: Length 210 mm, width 55 mm, thickness 1.6 mm is a classic size for a professional chef's knife, which allows you to work with both large products and filigree cuts. The Drop Point shape gives the blade versatility by optimizing tip control during operation, making it suitable for thin slices, chopping and batch slicing. The smooth reduction to a sharp cutting edge minimizes cutting resistance.
Hand hold: The ergonomics of the handle (120 mm) allows you to securely hold the knife in a variety of grips – from classic to "chef" with an interception on the blade. The wenge texture, combined with the matte duralumin surface, prevents slipping even when working in a wet or greasy environment.
Wear and corrosion resistance: 95X18 steel has one of the best corrosion resistance among Russian steels, is not afraid of frequent contact with vegetable and meat juices, acids and moisture. Wenge is naturally resistant to moisture, and duralumin is not susceptible to corrosion — such a knife does not require special care even in a professional kitchen.
Easy to sharpen and maintain: 95X18 easily restores sharpness on classic water or diamond stones; editing takes a minimum of time, which is important for chefs and home cooking enthusiasts. After use, it is enough to rinse the knife and wipe it dry – this is quite enough to maintain the perfect appearance and cutting properties
