Technical analysis and design features
The Chef No. 9 kitchen knife is a tool for those who appreciate a professional approach to cooking and are not ready to compromise on the quality of materials and ergonomics.
Blade steel – K340 (hardness 62 HRC): Thanks to the use of Boehler K340 tool steel, the knife has pronounced wear resistance, excellent hardness and resistance to discoloration of the cutting edge. This allows the blade to retain factory sharpening for longer, maintaining high productivity even during intensive work. K340 steel shows good corrosion resistance among its category counterparts, but requires regular maintenance (wipe dry after work, especially with acidic products).
Blade shape – Drop Point (length 183 mm, thickness 1.6 mm, width 37 mm): The long cutting edge and classic Drop Point shape provide versatility and excellent control when slicing, chopping and chopping. The geometry makes it easy to perform both long sipping and precise short cuts, and the small angle of descent makes it easier to work with various products.
Handle – birch bark and black hornbeam (length 115 mm): Eco-friendly and warm to the touch birch bark combined with dense and durable black hornbeam gives the knife not only a memorable appearance, but also unique tactile properties. The handle does not slip even in a wet hand, quickly adapts to the temperature of the palm, providing comfort during prolonged use. The optimal combination of materials minimizes brush fatigue during prolonged work.
Scabbard – genuine leather: An aesthetic and practical accessory for safe storage and transportation.
Processing and assembly: Each knife is handmade with quality control at every stage of production — this guarantees individuality, durability and reliability.
