Chatwin crucial knives make an exceptional holiday gifts for any cook and knife aficionado. Chatwin crucial heirloom chef knives are crafted from the finest swedish 13c26 sandvik steel and ground to a japanese style double bevel flat v-grind, each side holding an acute 15 degree angle. All three blades feature a continuous full tang handle hardened to 59-60 hrc. The cnc routed handle, made of durable and beautifully grained’rosewood’ (guibourtia hymenaeifolia) with our own internally embedded rivet system is ergonomically designed to provide excellent grip for enhanced performance. The set is composed of three most useful kitchen knives: a paring, boning/filet and chef knife. The p10 is a 4inch / 10cm paring knife for smaller tasks, cutting fruit, vegetables or use as your favorite razor sharp steak knife. The b13 is a 5.5inch / 13cm boning or butcher knife, featuring a stiff blade for easy carving and deboning and a contoured bolster fin to prevent slippage and give your hand extra control for working the blade around bones. The medium length narrow blade excels at carving around bones and fish. The g21 is an 8inch / 21cm gyuto style chef knife. Designed with a perfected rocker from tip to center blade for effortless chopping, and a flat lower edge for clean and carving, this chef knife design has resulted the most versatile blade we have tested. A key element in preserving these knives is proper storage, so i developed a minimalist, yet highly functional magnetic knife holder to complement rather than hide this collection’s aesthetic. I’ve tried to integrate thoughtful design components to maximize its usability. With perfectly balanced, strong earth magnets hidden under a layer of beautiful sapele wood veneer, it holds the knives securely yet allows for easy release. The holder works as a freestanding kitchen counter knife rack, a wall-mountable magnetic knife rack and a lightweight travel case. All chatwin crucial knives feature. Lightweight, precisely balanced for effortless use. Blades made of swedish sandvik 13c26 stainless steel. Edge retains razor sharpness exceptionally well. 15 degree double bevel v-grind (total of 30 degrees). Rosewood handle cnc carved for ergonomic comfort. 59- 60 rockwell hardness.
