Colour:Graphite Style Name:Titanium Utility - Straight The Colori Ice-Hardened Titanium Knives - Strength and Beauty Combined! Renowned for innovation and quality since 1926, Kuhn Rikon of Switzerland has developed a formidable reputation for designing and crafting a variety of high-performance kitchen knives. New for 2016, the Colori Ice-Hardened Titanium collection combines an elegant, stylish appearance with a level of robustness and longevity that is essential within the modern-day kitchen. Premium-Quality Materials and Skilled Craftsmanship The blade of all knives within the Colori Ice-Hardened Titanium assortment is constructed from carefully-selected, Japanese stainless steel that is heated in an annealing furnace at over 1000 degrees Celsius/1832 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the cutting surface is not only sufficiently hard, but also flexible and rust-resistant. The blade is then subsequently polished and ground by hand on both sides. Each receives a final grinding by an experienced and skilled craftsman. The angle of the blade grinding (14 degrees on each side; double-bevelled) ensures that an optimal level of sharpness is attained. Cutting-Edge Manufacturing Procedures Once crafted, the cutting surface of the knives is then ice hardened with liquid nitrogen at -80 degrees Celsius. This state-of-the-art technique allows the steel to reach an unrivalled level of toughness and resistance to corrosion. In addition, the blades are coated with titanium to further increase their strength. This process also creates the shine that is noticeable within specific lights. Manoeuvrability and Balance - it’s all in the Detail A high-performance kitchen should always be a pleasure to use. In order to obtain the perfect handle for the Colori Ice-Hardened Titanium collection, a number of different prototypes with minimal levels of variance were created. The designers of the knives were only satisfied once comfort, manoeuvrability and balance were maximised. A for any job Within the Kitchen Whether it’s chopping vegetables, slicing bread, de-boning fish or eating a delicious steak, the Kuhn Rikon Colori Ice-Hardened Titanium assortment has the perfect for the job.
