Know before you buy
The Swedish high-carbon steel used in the UX10 offers a superior balance between edge retention and stain resistance. While it holds a razor-sharp edge much longer than typical stainless steel, it remains easier to maintain and less prone to corrosion.
A Rockwell hardness of 60° indicates a very hard blade, which allows for a thinner, sharper edge. While this means the knife stays sharp for a long time, you will need to use a high-quality whetstone to sharpen it properly, as standard pull-through sharpeners may damage the edge.
No, you should never put this knife in the dishwasher. While the resin-impregnated wood is water-resistant and durable, the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher will eventually damage the handle and dull the blade's edge.
The tapered German silver bolster is designed to provide a seamless transition between the handle and the blade. This ergonomic shape improves your grip and balance, making the knife feel like a natural extension of your hand during repetitive slicing tasks.
No, this is a precision slicer designed for tasks like slicing meats, vegetables, and fruits. The thin, high-performance blade is not intended for hacking through bone or frozen foods, which could cause the edge to chip.
