32 Dumas Thermo Black ham/salmon knife 30cm with granton edgeblade

32 Dumas designed and manufactures the Thermo Black ham/salmon knife in Thiers, France's cutlery capital .

The materials used in its design are obtained from elements with more than interesting properties!

Here are the details of these properties:

- X : stainless steel

- 50: 0.5% carbon - guarantees sharpness

- Cr : Chromium - provides corrosion resistance

- Mo: Molybdenum - provides shock resistance

- N: Nitrogen - strengthens steel

- V: Vanadium - ensures strength

- 15 : 15% chromium

The resulting blade has a hardness of 57/59 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This means it has a long-lasting cutting edge and is easy to sharpen (e.g. with a sharpening Sharpening steel). The dimples on the blade prevent the slice, once cut, from sticking to the blade. This means you can produce nice, thin slices without them tearing as you peel them off the blade.

The handle, meanwhile, is the result of an overmolding process. This involves filling a mold with an elastomer that surrounds the knife's tang. This reduces the number of gaps between the blade and the handle, limiting the risk of residue build-up and, consequently, preventing the risk of contamination.

Ergonomically designed, this handle offers optimum grip. It's ideal for precision work and regular use. What's more, the elastomer used gives the handle a non-slip surface. So you can be sure of a secure grip.

The 32 Dumas brand strongly recommends immediate hand-washing followed by drying with a soft cloth to preserve the sharpness of the blade and the overall condition of the knife.
