Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: forged 95X18, hardness 58 HRC
95X18 steel is one of the most reliable corrosion—resistant steels of domestic production, which has proven itself in professional kitchen knives. Quenching to 58 HRC provides a balance between hardness, wear resistance and ease of sharpening. This blade is resistant to rust formation even during active operation in a humid environment, due to its high chromium content.
Blade shape: Drop Point (length 210 mm, thickness 2.8mm, width 55 mm)
The classic Drop Point shape with smooth lifting of the butt ensures versatility and reliable control during operation. The 210 mm length is ideal for most professional kitchen tasks, from slicing vegetables to milling a large piece of meat or working with fish.
