Chef Knife
Material and Hardness: Premium chef knives are typically crafted from high-carbon stainless steel or composite steel, achieving a hardness of 58-60HRC that maintains sharpness while ensuring toughness.
Some high-end models utilize military-grade steels like 90Cr18MoV, or even adopt a three-layer composite structure to enhance performance.
Blade angle and process: Professional-grade blades typically feature an angle of 12-15°, achieving peak sharpness through water grinding or V-edge sharpening.
Forging techniques and cryogenic heat treatment further enhance the tool's durability and retention.
Ergonomic design: The professional center of gravity distribution and anti-slip handle (e.g., rosewood) effectively reduce fatigue during prolonged use.
The all-rim structure ensures the tool's overall strength and durability.
