{"product_id":"chef-knife-x50crmov15-210mm-ebony","title":"German Steel · Chef's Knife 210 mm","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA 210 mm chef's knife for the full range of daily kitchen prep across vegetables, boneless protein, fish, and herbs. 1.4116 \/ X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, DIN designation, German metallurgical standard. Carbon at 0.45-0.55%, chromium at 14-15%, with molybdenum and vanadium additions. Monosteel construction. Heat treated to 56-58 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 56-58 HRC, 1.4116 favours maintenance accessibility over edge retention duration: the bevel responds immediately to a standard ceramic rod or water stone without specialist abrasives, so the edge can be corrected between prep tasks rather than set aside for a separate sharpening session. The monosteel construction behaves uniformly from heel to tip across the full 210 mm, with no lamination boundary and no variation in steel behaviour along the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOptimised for the full chef's knife range: vegetables, boneless protein, fish, herbs, and general prep under push-cutting, draw-cutting, and rocking technique. The 210 mm blade provides leverage for larger ingredients and sustained chopping. Not for bone contact or frozen material. At 56-58 HRC the edge needs more frequent maintenance than harder alloys, but each sharpening is quick and accessible with standard equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNature ebony wood handle. Ebony's high natural density and closed grain give inherent moisture resistance without surface sealing or periodic oiling. The deep black coloration is natural to the species. At 242 g across 210 mm, the balance sits at the bolster, suited to a mid-grip pinch hold for both rocking and push-cutting technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe ebony does not pretend.
