Precise description of properties and characteristics
K340 steel blade
The kitchen knife is equipped with a blade made of K340 steel, a premium tool alloy that is renowned for its outstanding wear resistance and hardness of 62 HRC. This steel perfectly holds sharpening even with intensive and prolonged use in the kitchen: it is resistant to mechanical stress, the appearance of chips and deformations when cutting dense products, ensures sharpness and purity of the cut. K340 is characterized by good corrosion resistance, but like any high-carbon steel, it requires minimal maintenance: after washing, it is recommended to wipe dry to avoid stains.
Wharncliffe Blade Shape
The blade length is 205 mm, the thickness is only 1.6 mm and the characteristic straight line of the butt forms the Wharncliffe profile — ideal for precise, controlled cuts and clean chopping of vegetables, herbs, fish and meat. This geometry allows you to fully control the angle of the blade when cutting and is ideal for cutting products that require care. The blade width of 25 mm provides sufficient support area and finger protection.
Paducah and acrylic handle
The ergonomic handle, 125 mm long, is made of a combination of natural paduk and acrylic. Paduk is a valuable hard wood with natural strength, high moisture resistance and spectacular texture, and acrylic gives the handle additional wear resistance and a bright aesthetic accent. This combination guarantees a reliable grip in wet and dry conditions, does not slip even with a wet hand and feels very pleasant to the touch. The exceptional durability of the handle makes the knife a reliable helper for many years to come.
Durability and ease of care
The hardness of the 62 HRC blade means that the knife will retain its sharpness and shape for a long time, and the wear-resistant surface is resistant to discoloration and scratches. Periodic straightening on fine-grained musate or stone is sufficient to maintain the working edge. Thanks to the high-quality materials, care of the knife is minimal: it is enough to wash it by hand, avoiding the dishwasher, and wipe it dry after use.

Unique features and historical context
The Wharncliffe uniform has a rich historical heritage: it originated as a working geometry for the most accurate cuts and control over the cutting depth. This knife will be appreciated by both collectors and professionals.
