Babish High-Carbon 1.4116 German Steel Cutlery, 6.5" Santoku Kitchen Knife

يحافض على حدتة لمدة طويلة

Excelente produto. A qualidade do aço é ótima: é leve e resistente. A empunhadura é super confortável, além de esteticamente muito bonita. Estou usando há apenas 1 mês, mas parece que vai durar muito e manter o fio/corte por um bom tempo sem necessidade de afiar. Tenho várias outras facas, e de longe, essa é a mais afiada. Só achei que o comprimento da lâmina poderia ser um pouquinho maior. De resto, é uma ótima faca.

A welcome new knife to begin replacing our old ones. I like the thin blade thickness, feels well balanced and cuts like a dream, but I'm aware all new knives do. I'll try and update over time.

I started off with the Santoku knife, but enjoyed the knife so much that I went ahead and bought the other 2 knives in the series as well. These knives use German 1.4116 Steel, which is also known as 4116. It has a lot in common with X50CRmov15 another German steel that is used by Wustof brand knives. The primary properties of this metal is that it is very easy to sharpen, but it will need maintenance to keep that edge sharp. The hardness comes to HRC 56-58. The easiest way to keep the knives sharp is to use a honing rod between uses. I tend to wash the knife after use and then hone it before putting them away. I have had them 4 months now and they have not needed a whetstone sharpening yet. German 1.4116 and X50CRmov15 are the minimum that I will take for a decent knife. Anything lower is a budget knife. They have said that they are nearly 420HC in steel, but Buck knives use that steel to great effect, as do Gerber and Leatherman. The Babish knives come extremely sharp and will stay that way for a long time with proper maintenance. I use the Santoku knife as my general purpose knife that I use in the process while cooking something, I use the chef's knife when I need to mince, or process down vegetables or boneless meats, because of the rocking motion it makes it easiest to process fresh herbs. I use the clef knife almost like a cleaver when I need to process larger cuts of meat, as well as harder vegetables. The knives have a nice weight to them which is fairly standard in German made knives. The handles are comfortable even when you have to use them for long periods of time. The knives have held up well so far and I haven't noticed any problems with them. Only gripe that I really have is that the Chef's knife is actually quite a bit bigger than all of my other Chef's knives. It's a little over 2 inches top to bottom, which makes it hard to find a sheath for it.

Es excelente el cuchillo; sale afilado desde el inicio y dura mucho tiempo el filo. Es sorprendentemente cómodo en la mano, tiene buen peso, y muy estético. No existe mejor cuchillo a el precio que se vende
