The XD Difference

​

Our knives are made from 1.4116 German Steel. This very high quality steel delivers a blade with great flexibility as well as exceptional noncorrosive properties. The steel is ice hardened to achieve maximum blade strength, avoid staining, and ensures the knives will have a long lasting cutting edge.

Product Features

  • Ice Hardening is applied for maximum blade strength and no stain properties. This process also ensures that
    the knife will have a long lasting cutting edge. The ice hardening ensures that we achieve a high level HRC
    rating of HRC:57±2. HRC 57 is synonymous with high end Kitchen Knives. The Rockwell Hardness Scale was
    developed to test the Hardness of Metals and is very common to determine high end blades in Kitchen Knives.

  • Full Tang handle means we use the same piece of steel from the tip to the base of the handle in each knife.You can see this by looking at the top of the knife. This feature gives more stability and strength to the blade.

Tips on Realigning and Sharpening your Knives

Swiss Diamond recommends you realign the knife blade weekly for optimal performance. Hold the honing steel in your non-dominant hand with your fingers behind the butt of the steel. Place the knife blade against the tip of the honing steel at an angle of approximately 20 degrees away from you. Start with the base of the knife and move the knife to the tip as you pull the knife down. Repeat on the front and the back of the steel to sharpen both sides of the blade. If you find your blade has dulled, we highly recommend bringing the knives to a professional knife sharpener.

  • Know your kitchen needs. This will help you decide which knife or knife sets you will need.

  • Check the blade. A full tang blade is considered to be the strongest

  • Check the handle: A resin handle is made for excellent durability

  • Consider who will be using the knives and what care will be taken when using a knife

  • Hold the knife in your hand to be sure it is comfortable
