Toughness | The combination of carbides in CPM 20CV makes the blade tough, but not as resistant to breakage or chipping as other premium steels. Although this steel is tough, this blade is not designed to chop at bones.
Edge Retention | Critical to the kitchen, CPM 20CV is one of the best steels for retaining an edge. The CATRA test, which compared 20CV to 440C, rates CPM 20CV 180% better than 440C in sharpness and edge life of a blade. The higher percentage of vanadium in this steel creates a fine grain structure to better hold an edge. Adding molybdenum increases the strength needed to hold the edge over time, and the added tungsten also helps keep the edge.
Made in Canada - Stabilized Wood handles - Our highest end old growth burls are selected and then stabilized. The process of wood stabilization forces liquid resins into the wood under high pressure. The resins completely impregnate the wood, and then cure, so the wood now resists shrinking and swelling with the weather as well as taking on water.
Ground thin and a full flat taper these chef knives are light weight and slice without effort.
