The blades are manufactured from Japanese ACUTO440 steel – a thoughtfully developed and performance-oriented evolution of classic 440 steel specifically designed for the demands of everyday kitchen use. Rather than focusing exclusively on maximum hardness, the series impresses with a balanced combination of edge retention, flexibility and ease of maintenance.
The optimised alloy creates an especially fine carbide structure, which is also a key element of the blade’s elegant appearance. The stainless steel bolster features a PVD coating. This thin, hardening layer protects the material from external influences, increases durability and gives the bolster its distinctive gold colour. The angular, faceted bolster design creates an elegant transition between blade and handle. Deep black octagonal POM handles provide excellent control, improve cutting comfort and can be cleaned effortlessly.
