Santoku knife Tradition 17,5 cm

Good by tradition!

The Santoku knife 17.5 cm with its Asian blade shape, which is a popular all-rounder in the kitchen due to its straight edge, is suitable for cutting fish, meat and vegetables. It is also used for fine cutting work.

The classic, riveted plastic handle is ergonomically shaped and the bolster also serves as finger protection.

Safety instructions:
Please ensure that knives are always kept and used out of the reach of children to ensure their safety.

Knife Steel X50CrMOV15:

X50CrMOV15 Alloying components:

• 0.50% carbon higher hardness
• 15% chromium for high corrosion resistance
• up to 0.8% molybdenum additional corrosion protection
• up to 0.2% vanadium higher wear resistance

 
Definition - Molybdenum:
This is a 5th period transition metal. The high strength, tough and hard metal has a silvery white luster. Of all the 5th period elements, it has the highest melting point, which is 2,623 °C. Like its heavy homologue tungsten, it is not attacked by non-oxidizing acids (including hydrofluoric acid). For this reason, molybdenum is used in large quantities for the production of acid-resistant stainless steels and nickel materials. Molybdenum is used for hardening and for preventing temper embrittlement of steel

Definition - Vanadium:
Also obsoletely vanadium, is a chemical element with the symbol V and atomic number 23. It is a steel-gray, bluish shimmering transition metal that is very soft in the pure state. The melting point is 1,910 °C.
 

X50CrMOV15 is a rust and acid resistant, very hard blade steel. Unlike 18/10 CrNi steel, this alloy is 100% nickel-free, which is suspected of causing allergic reactions. The special ingredients in this blade steel strengthen the protection against corrosion and pitting while increasing the strength of the steel.

So with X50CrMoV15, you get a blade steel that is very robust and wear resistant while remaining very corrosion resistant and easy to maintain. Knives made of X50CrMoV15 have a fine grind and long-lasting sharpness. In addition, such a knife can be very easily resharpened later if necessary.
