Butcher knife 32 Dumas Affil inox 20cm handle 3 rivets

32 Dumas is the oldest brand to emerge from the cutlery capital of France: Thiers. The Affil collection features knives in nitrogen-reinforced stainless steel.

Why use such a process?

Here's why: the blades of the knives in the Affil collection are made of X50CrMoNV15 steel.

- X stands for stainless steel

- 50 corresponds to the 0.5% carbon content of steel

- Cr stands for chromium

- Mo for Molybdenum

- N stands for Nitrogen

- V stands for Vanadium

- 15 for 15% chromium

That's a long list! However, all these materials provide the essential properties for a professional-quality knife: rustproofness, strength, sharpness and resistance to corrosion and impact. They also enable a hardness of 57/59 HRC. This means that the blade will retain its sharpness for a long time to come, and that sharpening is easier (you can use a Sharpening steel, for example).

Once you've got the blade, you need to be able to use it safely: that's the purpose of the handle. 32 Dumas has designed an ergonomic handle made from POM (a polymer often used in the kitchen). This material is wear-resistant and absorbs only a small amount of water: perfect for a knife regularly used in a professional environment!

Reliability, durability and comfort: the main assets of this 20cm butcher knife made in France!

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