✨ Why 40Cr13 Steel?

Superior Hardness: 40Cr13 steel contains higher carbon content than standard stainless steel, resulting in a harder blade (HRC 56-58) that holds its edge significantly longer. This means less frequent sharpening and more time cooking.

Excellent Corrosion Resistance: The chromium content (13%) provides excellent rust and stain resistance, even when cutting acidic foods like tomatoes and lemons. Your knife will maintain its beautiful appearance for years.

Easy Maintenance: Unlike ultra-hard Japanese steels that require expert sharpening, 40Cr13 steel is easy to sharpen at home with a whetstone or electric sharpener. Perfect balance of performance and practicality.

Professional Standard: 40Cr13 is the same steel grade used in many professional kitchens worldwide. You're getting commercial-quality performance at a home-cook price.
