Description
- About this item KNIFE + SHARPENER SET - contains a high-quality 8-inch Chef's knife, a compact, very effective knife sharpener and a knife sheath. The knife is a true all-rounder: it chops, cuts and dices meat, fish, fruit and vegetables with ease. In addition, it is a real feast for the eyes, lies comfortably in the hand and will be your reliable kitchen companion for a long time. THE STEEL - The Steel framework of the knife is cast from one piece (Full Tang). The INOX (stainless) steel is compliant to German DIN 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15). Its high Carbon content of 0.55% makes it harder. 15% Chromium increases the corrosion resistance and 0.8% Molybdenum reduces the brittleness. A Rockwell HRC hardness of 55-57 implies good edge retention, while still remaining properly sharpenable. THE BLADE - is hand sharpened at 15 ° per side to produce a balance between sharpness and resilience. It is hand-finished with traditional craftsmanship, combined with high-tech procedures such as Cryo-tempering and processed under vacuum heat treatment, strengthening the steel's crystalline structure. The Laser-engraved pattern on the blade is made for decoration and anti-sticking purposes. THE HANDLE - is made of natural beech wood layers, embedded in a special composite resin, making the handle waterproof and tougher. The handle is ergonomically designed, comfortable to use also during long cooking sessions. Water or detergents don't harm the blade or handle, but it is not recommended to put the knife into the dishwasher. THE SHARPENER - features 2 stages. Stage 1 (gray) made of tungsten carbide, which is twice as hard as steel and is for sharpening when the blade is blunt and Stage 2, made of aerospace ceramic (white), when it is not so blunt. Instructions: Hold the sharpener with one hand against a solid surface and guide the blade vertically into the chosen slot. Then hold down the blade with moderate pressure. Gently slide the knife 3-5 times in your direction (just in one direction) - and done.
