The knives of the culilux® KOBE series:
The result of the search for the perfect knife, combining the best of 2 knife worlds – Western and Japanese. Made of one of the best knife steels, perfectly heat treated, extremely thin and sharp blade geometry, hand-sharpened in a 4-step process, perfectly balanced and with great ergonomics.
 
Certified sharpness:
Sharpened to an edge angle of about 10° per side instead of the usual 15-20°, the blade reaches a sharpness score of less than 150, which corresponds to the sharpness of a utility razor. Each knife is individually tested and comes with an individual sharpness certificate. Supported by the thin blade geometry and the smooth blade finish, the knife glides effortlessly through food.
 
Swedish premium steel:
The Swedish 14C28N high carbon stainless steel with its super-fine microstructure has been specially developed for cutlery and razors and is hardened to a hardness of 61-63 HRC, using a proprietary vacuum heat treatment, followed by the CRYOMAX treatment in liquid nitrogen at -196°C (-321°F). The steel formula also includes Nitrogen to enhance hardness as well as corrosion resistance. The result is a blade that can hold an extreme sharpness for a long period of time, but at the same time is tough and very resistant to staining.
 
Perfection guaranteed:
We have paid special attention to the fit & finish of the blade, with a smooth transition from blade to the handle and rounded and polished edges. The knife is well balanced and allows for fatigue- and pain-free cutting even in long prep sessions in commercial kitchens.
 
NEW: G10 handle
The handles are now made of G10, a material consisting of layers of fibreglass. It's substantially more resistant than plastic or wood and absolutely dimensionally stable, so that the metal parts in the handle can no longer protrude.
 
For all purposes:
This elegant kitchen knife meets the highest demands of professionals and hobby chefs alike. It is perfect for cutting, peeling and preparing vegetables, meat, fish, fruit and herbs. Packed in an attractive gift box, it makes a perfect present.
