Arcelor 8" Bread Knife

Precision Forged Quality from Exclusive High-Quality German Steel X46Cr13

Empowered by German high-quality smelting technique, this type of steel ensures the knife is incredibly durable and maintains sharpness over time. The precision forging process also results in a knife that has a fine grain, enhancing its strength and ability to hold a sharp edge.

Full Tang with Solid Curved Ultra Heavy Bolster Ensures an Amazing Grip and Balance

A full tang design means the blade extends into the handle, providing better leverage and balance. The heavy bolster (the thick junction between the blade and handle) aids in controlling the knife and adds to the overall safety during use.

Ergonomic and Durable Handle Reduces Fatigue and is Stain-Free, Making Food Prep Virtually Effortless

An ABS ergonomic handle is designed for comfort and ease of use, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use. A stain-free handle ensures the knife remains hygienic and easy to clean, essential for food safety.

54-56 Rockwell Hardness with 15-17 Edge Angle Degree Delivers Outstanding Cutting Performance

The range of Rockwell hardness indicates a good balance between blade toughness and edge retention. The 15-17 degree edge angle, deemed as “Golden Angle” of a knife, is ideal for precision cutting, making the knife efficient for various cutting tasks.

Oil-Hardened Blades are Remarkably Sharp, Stay Sharper Longer and are 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 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.
