DECO BLACK knife

The 991A Deco Black range of knives is made from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel - carbon steel with the addition of chromium (increases corrosion resistance), molybdenum (reduces brittleness of the steel) and vanadium (increases abrasion resistance).

The blade hardness of the Deco Black knife on the Rockwell scale is 53-55 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 long periods of time, while being more difficult to sharpen, less flexible and more prone to breakage and chipping.

Each knife should be rigid in order to cut the various 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.

Knife for you

The knife is equipped with a non-slip handle made of ABS plastic, which is more resistant than wood.

There is an auxiliary icon on the handle that symbolises the function of the knife.

In order to make Gerlach kitchen knives enjoy their reliability and beautiful appearance for as long as possible, we recommend washing them by hand.
