Description

Chef Knife

The chef knife is the favorite knife of every professional and amateur cook, and for good reason. It has perhaps the most uses of any other kitchen knife, as you can use it to cut large portions, finely chop or dice vegetables and fruits, as well as meat and fish. Its wide blade and curved edge make it ideal for quick and precise chopping using the well-known rocking motion. The thickness of the blade at the spine is enough to give you the weight and power you need, while its length covers a wide range of everyday tasks.

Blade Material

The blade is made of Damascus steel, which began to be used in Japan during the Middle Ages and has remained legendary for its very durable and sharp blades.

It consists of a central core of hard VG10 carbon steel alloy on which steel sheets are folded, creating a hard, extremely sharp blade up to 15° and highly resistant to oxidation and wear.

The hardness level of the blade is 61 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Handle

The handle is made of a mixture of materials, consisting of resin and natural fibers, which is very durable and odorless.

The end of the handle is made of stainless steel to provide more stability.

Two stainless steel rivets hold the handle tightly.

Cutting Surface

Cuts are recommended to be made on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife immediately (with a mild detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you should wash the knife immediately after use.

For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from its edge, using a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is in the beginning, after some use it needs sharpening, something that you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone or strop.

You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a piece of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be rough.

Also, it is advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to repair possible damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.

    I have bought it for professional use. So far, in terms of quality, it is top-notch and sharp! Of course, it is enough to know how to maintain it. However, the progress will show.

    Very good! A little heavy though, compared to other knives. But it's worth every penny. Very good!
