STAINLESS STEEL

All steel blades are made of martensitic stainless steel. The basis for
optimum function and durability of a blade, is the use of the correct steel
alloy. The steel should deliver the perfect combination of cutting edge
retention and corrosion protection. It should also be flexible, so it does not
break during use.

The following steel alloys are used for household and professional knives:
