Sabatier International Hercules Knives

Blades suited to every type of cut

Hercules knives are equipped with 5Cr15MoV stainless steel blades, with a hardness ranging from 55–57 HRC to 58–60 HRC depending on the model. This design offers a good balance between durability, ease of maintenance, and cutting precision. Smooth blades are ideal for clean, even cuts: the paring knife is perfect for peeling, chopping, and trimming small foods, while the chef’s knife is ideal for slicing and mincing thanks to its wide, slightly curved blade. The utility knife features a serrated edge that is particularly useful for tomatoes, small rolls, and foods with thin skins or crusts. The bread knife follows this same principle but with a longer blade, designed to cut through thick crusts without crushing the crumb.  The santoku and mini santoku knives have a versatile blade for slicing, mincing, and chopping vegetables, meats, and fish. Their indentations create air pockets that prevent food from sticking during cutting.

A comfortable ABS handle that provides stability for everyday use

The handles of Sabatier Hercules knives are made of ABS, a lightweight, sturdy, and moisture-resistant material. Their ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable grip and allows for good control of the blade while cutting. This maneuverability is valuable for both quick motions and tasks requiring greater precision. The three stainless steel rivets ensure a secure connection between the handle and the blade. They contribute to the knife’s durability and facilitate regular use in the kitchen. The overall balance of each knife naturally follows the movement of your hand, whether you’re working with a chef’s knife, a santoku knife, or a paring knife.
