Technical characteristics and material of the knife
The blade of this chef's knife is made of forged 95X18 steel with a hardness of 58 HRC. This alloy has established itself for decades as a high-quality standard for kitchen knives due to the optimal balance between wear resistance and corrosion resistance. 95X18 contains an increased amount of chromium, which provides excellent protection against rust even with frequent contact with moisture and food.
The blade thickness is 1.8 mm, which guarantees excellent penetration when cutting and minimal resistance even when working with dense products. The blade length of 265mm combined with a width of 57mm make this knife an ideal tool for professional and home cooking: you can easily slice large pieces of meat, fish, chop vegetables, chop herbs or fruits.
The handle is made of a combination of exotic woods - bubinga and black hornbeam. These materials not only impress with their deep natural aesthetics, but are also renowned for their high density, moisture resistance, and durability. Thanks to its ergonomic shape and pronounced texture, the knife is comfortably and securely held even in a wet or greasy hand.
The shape of the Drop Point blade ensures versatility of use: a smooth bevel to the tip gives additional fracture strength, as well as excellent cutting control, allowing you to perform both strength work and fine technological cuts.
Optimal application and key advantages
- Ideal for professional kitchens and demanding home cooks: the powerful but elegant blade perfectly handles chopping, chopping, and slicing of any kind of food — meat, fish, vegetables, and herbs.
- Secure grip: the thoughtful shape and natural materials of the handle ensure a high level of control and comfort during long-term operation.
- High resistance to moisture and corrosion: due to the chromium content of 95X18, it can easily withstand frequent washing and handling of wet products without the risk of rapid staining or rust.
- Wear resistance and durability: the hardness of 58 HRC makes the knife resistant to bluntness when used correctly, and the forged steel structure adds additional reliability. Easy maintenance: 95X18 is convenient to sharpen using standard tools, the knife quickly restores sharpness without the risk of chipping or cracking, and maintenance of the handle is minimal with periodic oil treatment.
- Handmade — each piece is unique: the wood of bubinga and black hornbeam emphasizes the individuality and status of the owner.
Limitations and features of operation
- It is not recommended for working on bones, frozen foods, opening hard packages and lever loads: the thin blade is designed for precise and accurate operations, not for rough work.
- Exotic wood requires minimal but regular maintenance, such as periodic application of mineral oil to preserve its appearance and prevent drying out.
- A sharp blade requires careful handling: it is recommended to store it in a complete leather sheath or on a magnetic strap.
Unique differences and recommendations
