Gerlach Block Knife Set Natur, 5pcs

The hardness of the Natur knife blade on the Rockwell scale is 53-54 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 a long time, while being harder to sharpen, less flexible and more prone to breakage and chipping. Each knife should be rigid in order to cut different ingredients precisely, while on the other hand it must be flexible enough not to 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.
