Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel – forged 95X18 (hardness 58 HRC):
95X18 steel is one of the most popular domestic stainless steels, recognized for its perfect balance between excellent corrosion resistance and high wear resistance. Quenching up to 58 HRC ensures optimal hardness: this knife holds sharpness well and is able to maintain working sharpness for a long time even with active daily use. At the same time, the blade is relatively easy to edit and sharpen, which is important for kitchen knives.
Moisture resistance and corrosion resistance:Due to the high chromium content, 95X18 steel is practically not afraid of moisture and is excellent for working even with acidic and moist food. This means minimal maintenance requirements and no risk of rust during proper operation.
Wear resistance and durability:The forged structure gives the blade extra strength. Steel can withstand heavy loads and is not prone to chipping.
Handle – wenge and duralumin:
The combination of natural exotic wenge wood and duralumin (a durable aluminum alloy) gives the knife handle a special resistance to mechanical stress, wear and moisture. Wenge is a dense and hard wood that retains aesthetics for a long time and does not slip even when working with wet hands. Duralumin inserts enhance the structure, giving extra durability and style.
Holding in the hand:The handle is of optimal length (120 mm) and ergonomically shaped, which guarantees a secure grip and comfort during long-term operation. The materials do not cool the hand, do not slip and are resistant to household influences.
Drop Point blade (length 222 mm, width 45 mm, thickness 1.6 mm):
The Drop Point shape is a benchmark among chef's kitchen knives. The smooth curve of the butt line and pronounced tip provide excellent versatility: the knife perfectly handles both chopping vegetables and slicing meat, fish, and greens. The blade length of 222 mm is optimal for most cooks and home cooks, allows you to work with large products, and a thickness of 1.6 mm provides excellent penetration and a neat cut.
The knife is designed for precise, uniform slicing and is not prone to getting stuck in food.
Sheath – leather:
The convenient sheath ensures safe storage and transportation of the knife, which is important for outdoor events, camping or professional activities.
Scope of application. Advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks:
The classic chef's knife is a versatile tool for daily work in the kitchen. Especially good for:

- Working with fruits, bread, and semi-finished products.
- It is effective for long-term work due to its ergonomics and ease of maintenance.
It is not recommended to use it for cutting large bones, frozen foods, or chopping hard objects – more massive knives or hatchets with other form factors are suitable for such tasks. The thin and long blade is designed for careful work, not extreme power loads.
