The blade of this knife consists of an exceptionally high quality stainless steel with a carbon content of at least 1%. This hardness gives the blade a higher degree of sharpness and longer edge retention ability.

Plum trees

Plum wood is known to be one of the best woods for knife handles. This is because plum wood has a dense and hard structure that provides a good grip and is durable. Plum wood also has a beautiful color and texture that gives the knife a unique appearance. In addition, plum wood is resistant to moisture, making it an ideal choice for knife handles used in wet environments.

Maintenance

Please note that the knives should not be cleaned in the dishwasher!

We recommend washing with mild soapy water immediately after use and a quick rinse and dry, so you ensure a beautiful and sharp knife for a long time to come. To preserve the shine and suppleness of the handles, you should care for them regularly with suitable oil.

Carbon steel

Carbon steel is a non-stainless type of steel and can rust if not dried and washed after use. After use with citrus or other acidic raw materials, the knife should be washed/rinsed and dried if it is no longer used. Carbon steel will oxidize and form a patina (turn dark) over time. The patina can be removed using a hard sponge or polishing.

Sustainability

By using apricot or plum wood to make knife handles, you can help reduce waste and use resources responsibly, as it is a common fruit crop in many parts of the world.
