Set of knives in black MODERN block

MODERN block knife set - elegant design and top quality

The 993 line is an excellent choice for lovers of modern and industrial designs. It is characterised by its simple and minimalist form. The five knives made of high-quality steel have different uses depending on the finish and size. They will prove their worth when slicing, shredding, cutting and dicing various products.

Top quality steel

The X50CrMoV15 stainless steel with chromium, vanadium and molybdenum added to the blades provides increased strength and corrosion resistance.

The hardness of the Modern knife blade on the Rockwell scale is 54-55 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 different ingredients with precision, while on the other hand it needs to be flexible enough so that it does not break when changing the cutting angle 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.

The contoured stainless steel handleof the Modern knives is extremely comfortable to use. It guarantees a secure grip, even under extreme conditions.

The knife set is available with an elegant block made of lacquered beech wood in two colour variants - white or black. Placed on the countertop, it will be a delicate decoration in the kitchen.

The set includes:

• Chef's knife 8"
• Kitchen knife 8"
• Bread knife 8"
• Kitchen knife 5"
• Vegetable knife 3½"

To enjoy the reliability and stylish appearance of Gerlach kitchen knives for as long as possible, we recommend washing them by hand.

Washing the knives in the dishwasher, due to the high water temperature and chemicals, can lead to permanent damage to the blades and handles of the knives.
