Kanehide TK kitchen knives feature a unique semi-stainless steel that undergoes a hardening process to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 61. This steel combines the best qualities of stainless steel, such as reduced susceptibility to corrosion and low maintenance, with the exceptional edge retention and ease of sharpening typically found in full carbon blades.
The blade itself is made from a single piece of steel and boasts a well-polished surface achieved through precise machining. Out of the box, the edge is remarkably sharp, and the knife is impressively easy to sharpen while maintaining its effectiveness. The spine and choil areas are skillfully finished, complementing the Western-style Fibrox handle. This mono-steel knife allows it to be flexed. It's ideal for fillet work.
This knife has half the chromium of a fully stainless knife, so it will be reactive and form a patina. Wash and towel dry after each use, and use Bar Keepers Friend if desired.Maker: Kanehide
