Technical analysis and features of the knife
Blade steel — forged 95X18 (HRC 58):
Steel 95X18 refers to stainless tool steels with a high chromium content, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and increased strength. The hardness of HRC 58 guarantees good retention of the cutting edge and wear resistance during active use in the kitchen. The forged design enhances the strength characteristics and gives the characteristic grain structure inherited from manual processing.
Handle material — wenge:
The African wenge tree is valued for its high density, moisture resistance and pronounced texture. This handle not only looks elegant, but also fits securely in your hand even in wet conditions. Due to its minimal tendency to deformation, wenge wood is ideal for kitchen use.
Blade shape and parameters:
The 120 mm long, 25 mm wide and 1.6 mm thick Drop Point blade is the optimal balance for precise and versatile cuts typical of a chef's work in a small kitchen or at home. This geometry provides excellent control when slicing, chopping, and thinning vegetables, fruits, herbs, meat, and fish. The short length and moderate width guarantee maneuverability and safety when working with products of different sizes.
Convenience and ergonomics:
The wenge wood does not slip even in a wet hand, and the classic 115 mm long handle shape provides a firm grip for any palm size. The long working edge and delicate blade thickness promote easy sliding on the product, reducing fatigue during prolonged cutting.
Resistance to moisture, corrosion and wear resistance:
Stainless steel 95X18 and a moisture—resistant wenge handle make the knife resistant to corrosion and moisture - this is the most important advantage for a daily kitchen knife. The surface of the blade is easy to clean, and the edge remains sharp for a long time.
Maintenance and care:
Due to the composition of 95X18 steel, the knife is easily sharpened even on ordinary water stones or musata. The wenge handle does not require special care: it is enough to wipe it with a dry cloth, avoiding prolonged soaking. Genuine leather scabbard ensures safe storage and transportation.
Application scenarios, advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks:
- Professional and home cooking: chopping vegetables, slicing greens, fillets of fish and meat, minor preparatory work.
- It is ideal as a basic kitchen tool for those who appreciate maneuverability and precision.
- The collector's value is due to the aesthetics of handmade and natural materials.
- It is not suitable for heavy chopping, cutting bones, frozen food and opening cans.
- It is not recommended for field tasks outside the kitchen (tourism, hunting, bushcraft) — it is highly specialized for culinary needs.
Conclusion and recommendations
The knife will become an indispensable tool in the kitchen for those who appreciate precision, ease of cutting and high quality materials combined with handwork. Ideal for chefs, home cooks, and collectors who place demands on ergonomics, durability, and aesthetics.
It requires minimal maintenance: rinse, wipe dry, and store in a leather sheath. To maintain maximum sharpness, periodically adjust the blade on the musate. Avoid prolonged contact with acids and aggressive environments to avoid loss of the decorative properties of the wenge tree.
For those who are looking for an impeccable kitchen knife for every day with an impeccable balance of beauty and reliability, this knife is the perfect choice.
