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.

Perfect Small Chef's Knife

I have small hands and mild carpel tunnel, and this knife is perfect for me. I've been using Victorinox (Forschner Fibrox) knives for years, because they are lightweight and inexpensive, but this knife feels like it will hold an edge better and it has some substance to it. I feel like I've "graduated" to a real knife! There's more heft to do the job, but still lightweight enough to not tire my hand, wrist, and forearm.
