Description

Chef Knife

The chef's knife is the favorite knife of every professional and amateur cook, and not without reason. It perhaps has the most uses of any other kitchen knife, as you can use it to cut large portions, chop or slice everything from vegetables and fruits to meat and fish. Its wide blade and curved edge make it ideal for quick chopping through 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 daily tasks.

Blade Material

The blade is made of Damascus steel, which began to be used during the Middle Ages in Japan 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 blade that is hard, extremely sharp up to 15°, and very resistant to oxidation and wear.

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

Handle

The handle is made from a mixture of materials, which consists 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 board

It is recommended to make cuts 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 without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.

For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with 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 initially, after some use it needs sharpening, which you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.

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 a piece of paper. In contrast, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cut will be jagged.

It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade edge and to maintain sharpness.
