X50CrMoV15 German Steel

X — Stainless Steel: High-grade durable German Steel.
50 — Carbon Content: 0.5% carbon offers good hardness, which results in good edge retention. The blade stays sharper, longer.
Cr — Chromium: Ensures high rust resistance in the finish of the blades.
Mo — Molybdenum: Increases toughness and reduces the likelihood of chipping.
V — Vanadium: Improves grain structure and durability to reduce wear.
15 — Chromium Content: 15% chromium increases the resistance to oxidation and corrosion and allows the classification of ‘stainless steel'.

Use & Care + -

Wash your knives before first use.
Use the back or topside when scraping food off your cutting board. Us the sharp side will dull your blade.
To keep knives sharp, hand-washing is recommended. All Kilne knives are dishwasher safe.
Use a wood or plastic cutting board. Cutting onto metal, glass or stone surfaces can dull or damage knives.
Cutting frozen foods can also damage your knives.
Store knives in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to keep them sharp and protected. Keeping knives loose in drawers can cause premature wear and tear.
Although Kilne knives are designed to stay sharper longer, we still recommend you sharpen or hone them often. See FAQ for more details.

Love my Santoku Knife

This is the third Kilne knife that I've recently purchased. Very high quality and it gets the job done. Highly recommend this brand.

My New Favorite Knife!

I'm an everyday home cook in a small kitchen and make mostly simple meat and potato or one pot meals. I've never used a Santoku knife before, but a friend got one and raved about how things she sliced didn't stick to the knife. When I saw that Kilne had one I got it and it's now my go-to knife that I always reach for first! I use it for slicing, rough chopping, and pretty much everything that doesn't need too much rocking motion. For a finer chop I use my short chef's knife (Kilne Utility Knife, because I have small hands). These two knives are sharp and hold an edge well, and they work for probably 90% of my cooking needs. The Santoku does an especially impressive job peeling, slicing, and chopping up a pineapple.

This knife gets me into the kitchen!

This very sharp and thin blade knife is a pure joy to work with. I enjoy making very thin slices of vegetables, paper thin onion slices, cucumbers and shredded cabbage. Absolutely no regrets. End of story.
