Stahl Tri-ply 8" Carving Knife

Superior Forged 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 Solid Curved Heavy Bolster for Amazing Grip and Balance

A full tang design, where the blade extends into the handle, offers superior balance and control. The heavy bolster contributes to a comfortable and secure grip, making the knife safer and more efficient to use.

Comfortable and Traditional 3-Rivets Stain-Free Handle Reduces Fatigue 

The traditional three-rivet design ensures handle stability and longevity. A stain-free ABS handle is easier to clean and maintain. The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue, making it ideal for prolonged use in food preparation. 

57-59 Rockwell Hardness with 15-17 Edge Angle Degree Delivers 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 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.
