{"product_id":"215mm-chef-knife-14cr14movnb-powder-73-layer","title":"Chef Knife 215 mm | 73-Layer Laminated Powder Steel","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"4702\" data-end=\"5047\"\u003eDesigned for controlled slicing of vegetables, herbs, and boneless proteins, this 215 mm chef knife delivers a consistent, low-resistance cutting feel. It moves cleanly through dense produce and maintains a straight cutting path during longer strokes. The behaviour remains stable across repeated prep, reducing the need for constant correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"5049\" data-end=\"5073\"\u003eFunctional Behaviour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5075\" data-end=\"5300\"\u003eCuts through firm vegetables and proteins with minimal drag. The motion feels smooth and controlled rather than aggressive. The edge tracks accurately without deviation, allowing precise slicing with less corrective pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5302\" data-end=\"5547\"\u003eEdge retention remains consistent over extended use, reducing the need for frequent honing. Performance is predictable across repeated tasks. Due to higher hardness, the edge is more sensitive to lateral stress and requires controlled technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5549\" data-end=\"5630\"\u003eThis model prioritises edge stability and retention over aggressive cutting feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"5632\" data-end=\"5654\"\u003eBlade Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5656\" data-end=\"5826\"\u003eA 2.1–2.2 mm spine reduces resistance while maintaining mid-blade stability. The 215 mm length improves slicing efficiency, especially in proteins and larger ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5828\" data-end=\"6042\"\u003eA progressive distal taper refines the tip for detail work. The 56 mm blade height supports stable vertical movement and provides knuckle clearance. The ~15° edge angle enables clean entry with controlled tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"6044\" data-end=\"6073\"\u003eEngineering and Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6075\" data-end=\"6362\"\u003eThe 14Cr14MoVNb powder metallurgy core (62–64 HRC) is designed for extended edge retention and structural consistency. Compared to typical stainless steels, it holds an edge longer. Compared to higher hardness PM steels, it maintains more controlled toughness, reducing brittleness risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6364\" data-end=\"6525\"\u003eHigh chromium content improves corrosion resistance in regular kitchen use. Sharpening takes longer due to carbide density but remains consistent and repeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6527\" data-end=\"6636\"\u003eSUS410 outer layers provide structural support and corrosion buffering without affecting cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"6638\" data-end=\"6660\"\u003eHandle Engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6662\" data-end=\"6802\"\u003eThe olive wood handle provides a stable, lightly textured grip. It maintains control under light moisture and supports a precise pinch grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6804\" data-end=\"6919\"\u003eBalance is neutral to slightly forward, assisting controlled cuts and reducing fatigue during extended preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"6921\" data-end=\"6946\"\u003eManufacturing Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"6948\" data-end=\"7170\"\u003ePowder metallurgy processing ensures uniform carbide distribution. Heat treatment stabilises hardness and edge reliability. Precision grinding maintains consistent geometry, supporting predictable performance across units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"7172\" data-end=\"7190\"\u003eFunctional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"7192\" data-end=\"7354\"\u003eDesigned for: vegetables, herbs, boneless meats, fish, precision slicing, controlled chopping\u003cbr data-start=\"7285\" data-end=\"7288\"\u003eNot designed for: bone contact, frozen materials, impact cutting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
