The chef's knife is an extremely versatile knife, both for cutting and for chopping (e.g. into cubes) your food. Ideal for cutting meat or fish and for finely chopping your vegetables.
Chef Knife
General-purpose knife
The general-purpose knife is a versatile tool for every kitchen, as it is ideal for cutting vegetables, fruits, herbs, dried fruits, bread, cheeses, and a wide variety of other products.
Peeling Knife
The paring knife is ideal for cutting, peeling, and chopping small fruits and vegetables. Thanks to its blade shape, you can use it to create carvings and decorations, for garnish.
Blade Material
The blade is made of AUS-8 steel with medium carbon content, high chromium content. It offers excellent balance of properties between blade hardness, sharpness and corrosion resistance. This balance provides great durability and is the favorite metal alloy for many quality knife enthusiasts. Additionally, it is reinforced with Molybdenum-Vanadium to maintain sharpness, and has a matte texture. Therefore, fingerprints are not visible and food does not stick to it.
Its hardness level is 59 HRC (a knife with hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).
Handle
The handle is made of high-pressure fiberglass, G-10 and is a material with high resistance, corrosion resistant, non-slip and heat resistant. It also provides good shock absorption, helping to reduce user fatigue when using the knife. G-10 knife handles are also lightweight and easy to process.
Cutting Surface
Cuts are recommended to be made 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 first, 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.
It is also advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to fix any damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.
