Rondure 8" Bread Knife

Superior Blade Quality from Exclusive High Carbon Tri-ply Steel X90CrMoV18

High carbon tri-ply steel refers to a three-layer steel structure, with two outer layers made of stainless steel with good rust resistance and a middle layer made of martensitic high-chromium steel. This steel contains 0.9 1.0% carbon, which makes it three times as hard as other knives in its class normally with 0.3% carbon. The main advantages of this material include improved overall rust resistance and blade hardness, achieving a hardness of 57-59HRC, and enhancing the sharpness of the cutting edge. Above all, Tri-ply steel offers a fine balance of durability, corrosion resistance, and most importantly great sharpness.

Full Tang with Contour Curved Handle and Classical Triple Rivets

A full tang design provides stability and robustness, ensuring the blade and handle are securely attached. The contour curved handle enhances grip comfort and safety, while the classical triple rivets add to the handle's durability and traditional aesthetic.

 

Hi-Density Blackwood and Durable Handle, Reduces Fatigue and Stain-Free

High-density Blackwood, originally from West Africa, is a strong, resilient material that withstands regular kitchen use. Its ergonomic design minimizes hand fatigue, and being stain-free due to high density, it ensures ease of cleaning and maintenance for hygienic food preparation.

57-59 Rockwell Hardness with 15-17 Edge Angle Degree, Outstanding Cutting Performance

A Rockwell hardness of 57-59 offers a good balance of blade flexibility and strength, making it suitable for various cutting tasks. The 15-17 degree edge angle, deemed as “Golden Angle” of a knife, provides a sharp, precise cutting edge for efficient slicing, chopping, and dicing.

Oil-Hardened Blades, Remarkably Sharp, Stay Sharper Longer, Highly Corrosion Resistant 

Oil quenching heat treatment (Oil hardening) involves heating the knife and then rapidly cooling it in oil. The advantages of this process include preventing prolonged exposure to air, which controls the formation of surface oxidation layers. Oil quenching also results in higher hardness (1-2HRC higher) compared to air cooling in the same temperature range. The oil used in the quenching process covers the blade surface, preventing oxidation and resulting in better toughness and rust resistance compared to conventional heat treatment.

Sturdy Solid Endcap for Well Balance

A solid endcap not only adds to the overall aesthetic but also contributes to the knife's balance. This feature makes it easier to handle and provides more control during cutting tasks, enhancing safety and efficiency in the kitchen.
