Knife Buying Guide kit T H E HARTS TEAM TIP “Knife sets and knife blocks are a great way to start off your knife collection. They usually include all the basic knives you need and are better value for money than buying individual knives.” Jon, Marketing Stellar Sabatier The combination of high carbon molybdenum vanadium steel gives Stellar Sabatier knives the advantages of easy sharpening with extended edge life and resistance to rust and stains. Each blade is fully forged from a single billet of top grade steel – not strip steel. Blades have a full length tang, which extends into the handle. Craftsman-ground edges retain their sharpness through expert hardening and tempering. Each knife has a perfect join between the handle, bolster and blade – the hygiene requirement of top quality professional knives. Proven high quality technology material POM-C forms handles which have great resistance to heat and dishwasher detergents. Taylor’s Eye Witness For over 150 years, Taylor’s Eye Witness have been making knives in its Sheffield factory and are one of the last remaining manufacturers of kitchen knives, scissors and pocket knives in the original city of steel. What they don’t know about knives, scissors and pocket knives probably isn’t worth knowing. Rocknife Kyocera Made from hardened zirconium oxide ceramic, Rocknife opens up your kitchen to a fresh new design and style of knives that you will love using. Sharper than steel, Rocknife will stay sharp for years to come. The sleek, retro and funky knife design will open your eyes to quality and elegant craftsmanship and will quickly become an essential part of your everyday cooking. Featuring ceramic blades which are extraordinarily sharp, Kyocera knives have extremely long cutting lives and are astonishingly lightweight. Ceramic blades retain their original sharpness up to 10 times longer than carbon and stainless steel blades, and are extremely hard and durable. All of Kyocera’s ceramic blades are precision sharpened. The use of ceramic is also a healthy alternative as it will not transfer metal ions to food, nor corrode from acids and oils in fruit.
