These high-quality knives are made with Bohler N690 stainless steel, sourced by Takayuki from the Swedish Uddeholm factory. The quality iron used to produce N690 is excavated from the Uddeholm company mines and contains an extremely low amount of phosphorus and sulfur, resulting in a steel regarded as one of the finest in the world. Takayuki hardens the steel to about 60 HRC, and because this is a mono steel blade with no cladding of other steels, the knife offers superior stainless properties and the ease of maintenance many chefs appreciate.
The black POM handle with three stainless rivets is attached to the blade, and both the handle and stainless bolster are finished very well, feeling genuinely good in hand for extended use.
Care Instructions: Bohler N690 is a fully stainless steel - hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones and strop regularly between sharpenings.
