14C28N: The heart of our chef's knives.

There is a real treasure in our chef's knives: 14C28N steel. This stainless steel from Sweden impresses with outstanding properties that make every chef's knife an indispensable helper in your kitchen. In this blog article, we delve deep into the world of 14C28N and highlight its special features that make your knives something very special.

What is 14C28N steel?

14C28N is a martensitic stainless steel manufactured by the renowned company Sandvik. It is characterized by its high chromium content, which gives it excellent corrosion resistance. Even after intensive use and contact with acidic foods, the blade remains rust-free and retains its shine.

But 14C28N can do even more:

• Extreme sharpness: The fine and uniform carbide structure allows the steel to be ground to a high degree of hardness, which ensures exceptional sharpness. This means your knife glides effortlessly through any food, and precise cuts are child's play.
• Long-lasting edge retention: The 14C28N blade retains its sharpness over a long period of time. This means you have to sharpen your knife less often and can be sure that it will always serve you reliably.
• Robustness and flexibility: The steel is not only hard, but also tough and robust. It can easily withstand high loads and is at the same time flexible enough to carry out fine cutting movements.
• Easy to clean: The smooth surface of the steel is easy to clean. This means your knife stays hygienic and looks like new even after long use.

14C28N steel is an excellent choice for kitchen knives. Its combination of hardness, corrosion resistance and sharpness makes it ideal for everyday use in the kitchen. We chose this steel for our "VITOS" series chef's knives.

You can find them here in our shop in two different sizes.
