Blade Material
The blade is made of AUS-8 steel with a medium carbon content and high chromium content. It offers excellent balance of properties between hardness, blade sharpness, and corrosion resistance. This balance provides a long lifespan and is the favorite alloy for many quality knife enthusiasts. Additionally, it has a non-stick coating that prevents food from sticking to it, while also making it very easy to clean.
Its hardness level is 59 HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).
Handle
The handle is made of ABS plastic which is lightweight providing you with comfort during use. Additionally, it is distinguished for its high strength and durability as well as its easy cleaning.
Cutting Surface
It is recommended to perform cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they may 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 at the beginning, after some use it needs sharpening, something that you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone or strop.
You can understand 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 a piece of paper. On the contrary, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be dull.
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.
