{"product_id":"chef-knife-210mm-tricolour-multimetal-aurelia","title":"Sycamore · Chef's Knife 210 mm","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e12Cr18MoV stainless steel core. Chromium at 17–18%, carbon at 0.95–1.05%. Heat treated to 60 HRC. Clad in 36 alternating layers of 316L stainless steel, brass, and purple copper — three metals producing three distinct tones across the blade flat. Spine thickness of 2.1 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 12Cr18MoV core at 60 HRC maintains the 15° bevel through daily chef's knife tasks — slicing, chopping, and dicing across the full session — without the sharpening demands that higher-carbide alloys impose. A standard water stone or ceramic rod between sessions keeps the edge in condition without extended maintenance. At 18% chromium, the core resists corrosion across the full blade cross-section including at the bevel zone. The 316L stainless layers in the cladding provide additional corrosion resistance above the bevel; brass and purple copper produce the three-tone visual contrast with no contribution to cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOptimised for the full chef's knife task range under push-cutting, draw-cutting, and rocking technique. Not designed for bone contact or frozen material — 60 HRC under lateral impact risks chipping at the bevel. The brass and purple copper in the cladding will discolour with prolonged exposure to acidic ingredients; this is a surface change in the pattern and does not affect the core or the cutting edge. Not suited to applying the blade as a lever or introducing torque to the spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eClassic octagonal handle in figured sycamore wood and padauk burl wood. The octagonal cross-section — eight flat faces arranged radially around the axis — provides rotational feedback in the grip as the knife is reoriented between tasks; the flat faces register against the palm distinctly, allowing grip position to be tracked without redirecting attention from the cutting board. Figured sycamore occupies the handle body with a wavy grain and cream coloration; padauk burl provides the denser section with reddish-orange contrast. At 145 g across 210 mm, mass is distributed toward the blade — the light handle construction means the blade section carries more of the total weight, creating a forward bias that suits push-cut strokes on larger ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEight faces.
