Blade: Forged steel 95X18 with a hardness of 58 HRC is a recognized standard for kitchen and travel knives in Russia. This material is known for its high corrosion resistance due to its high chromium content, which is especially important for use in conditions of high humidity, kitchen and field use. Hardening up to 58 HRC optimally combines the retention of cutting edge sharpness and stain resistance, which significantly increases wear resistance. The 1.6 mm blade thickness provides excellent balancing: the knife is sharp, easy to handle, but not prone to fragility.
This chef's knife is a professional kitchen tool. It is optimal for daily work with vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, and herbs. Due to its delicate design and low thickness, the knife perfectly copes with cutting the thinnest slices, chopping or quick chopping. The tool is designed for long—term operation without frequent overfilling and is not afraid of moisture - it can be used in an intensive professional or home rhythm. Due to the firm grip and balanced handle, the knife holds perfectly in the hand even during prolonged work, does not slip and does not cause fatigue.
Careful analysis of characteristics and features
Handle: The exclusive combination of natural ebony wenge and duralumin (aluminum alloy) is not only handmade aesthetics, but also functionality. The wenge provides a warm, secure grip, is resistant to changes in humidity and does not slip even in a wet hand. Duralumin adds durability and a modern accent, while the metal blade heel protects the wood from damage in the kitchen.
Blade Shape - Drop Point: A versatile and time-tested profile where the tip is lowered relative to the butt. This shape is ideal for precise slicing, chopping, deboning and removing fillets, while providing a powerful and safe puncture. The blade length of 186 mm is suitable for cooking home and restaurant dishes, and the width of 47 mm allows you to work effectively with large products.
