Chef's knife 8' PRECISION

The professional line of PRECISION knives stands for blades made of high-quality German stainless steel, ergonomic handles, perfect balance of the knife along its entire length and the satisfaction of using these sharp tools for many years. The appropriate construction of the knife blade allows precise, fast and simple slicing of cold meats.

The blade of the PRECISION kitchen knife is made of high-quality X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, which will ensure perfect cutting. Thanks to the additions of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, the knives are characterised by increased corrosion resistance, so that the knife will last for many years of intensive use.

The hardness of the PRECISION knife blade on the Rockwell scale is 55-57 HRC. The Rockwell scale indicates the ability to retain sharpness for a given period of time and tests the resistance to mechanical damage and overloading of the blade. Hard knives retain their sharpness for long periods of time, while being more difficult to sharpen, less flexible and more prone to breakage and chipping. Each knife should be rigid in order to accurately cut a variety of ingredients, while on the other hand, it must be flexible enough so that it does not break when changing the angle of cutting or applying a lot of pressure. In most cases, the hardness for kitchen knives is quoted from 52 degrees HRC, while 57-58 HRC indicates already hard steel. The hardness of the blades of gerlach kitchen knives has been adjusted to ensure extremely precise and sharp cutting, while minimising the likelihood of the blade breaking during intensive use.
