FAQ
What type of metal is the blade?
The blade is high carbon X50CrMoV15 stainless steel and with a razor sharp edge.
This is exactly the same type of steel used in Wusthof & BK knives to name a couple.
Lets explain what X50CrMoV15 means:
- X: Stands for stainless
- 50 : This is the carbon content. The 0.5% carbon content is important for both the hardness and the sharpness of the knife
- CR: This explains the high chrome content. The additional alloy ensures a particularly high rust resistance in the finished blades
- 15: This is the amount of Chromium content. An amount of 15%
- Mo & V: The steel contains small amounts of Molybdenum(Mo) and Vanadium(V) to improve the grain structure and the wear resistance.
X50CrMoV15 is the most used type of stainless high carbon steel for kitchen knives by, amongst others, German manufacturers. The corrosion resistance is very good and the cutting qualities are great. It will withstand the test of time.
What does high carbon steel mean?
High carbon steel is the metal of choice for premium and professional grade kitchen knives. It is even used in the process of making the sought after Damascus steel.
The primary two components are carbon and iron.
Carbon is what gives the exceptional durability, so the higher the content, the stronger the blade.
They last for very long periods of time, and some people believe them to be nearly indestructible. They also offer great edge retention, as their hardness ensures they don’t wear out as quickly.
Why are sharper blades safer?
Dull knives are actually more dangerous than ultra-sharp blades. That’s because a dull blade requires more pressure and strength to make a cut, which means there’s a bigger chance the knife will slip and you’ll cut yourself.
A sharp knife makes easier, more accurate cuts, and is less likely to slip. Although still, take care always!
Why do sharper blades make better food?
If you cut with a blunt knife blade, the pressure you exert will destroy the structure of the food or change its consistency negatively. The smoother and cleaner the food is cut, the greater the final result.
How can I clean them?
For best results hand wash in the sink only and dry immediately.
The dishwashers intense heat will damage the finish on the wooden handle.
