Description

Product Description Roussillon Laguiole horn handle steak knife is made of stainless steel. The choice of the steel different components make up the steel (alloy) and give its quality in accordance with the percentages used. We distinguish two main types of steel: So called "carbon steels": containing mainly iron and carbon (0.6 to 1%). So called "stainless steels" : alloyed in varying quantities depending on the desired quality: Carbon (from 0.2 to 0.5%), Chromium (from 12 to 15%), Molybdenum (0 to 0.8%), Vanadium (0 to 0.2%). All these agents have specific c properties: carbon provides hardness, chromium is unoxidizable, molybdenum and vanadium are anticorrosive. These are not all necessarily present, but quality assurance resides in the alloy made up of all these agents, using the highest possible content. Be careful, fewer components = lower price = poorer quality. These components are cast in lingots and then formed into different shapes depending on the final use for the knife. example: "round" for fully forged blades or "bevelled" or "flat" for cut out blades. This is a grinding procedure on each side of the blade. An operation, after which the cutting edge will be resistant, easy and ready to go on the sharpening stage. Grinding can be done in different ways either flat, rounded or where the cutting edge is held on the wheel, which is longer and more difficult to do, but permits obtaining a perfect result and a long life lasting edge. Their number varies according to the products ranges. These different steps of manufacturing contribute as well on the quality of finishing as well as aesthetically finishing of the product. The most prestigious collections still require an important manual contribution for a know-how and a specialised dexterity that even the best machines can’t equal today. The ferrule is the part located between the handle and the blade, this hollowed part is essential for the final aesthetic of the item. Made in France.
