Extrema Ratio Genovese keukenmes

TACTICAL CUTLERY ENTERS YOUR KITCHEN Just for fun, we tried and applied exacting military standards to the making of a line of professional kitchen knives. Blades are made from tried-and-tested Böhler N690 steel – enriched with chromium, vanadium, molybdenum and cobalt, tempered to a hardness of HRC 58. The Forprene handles can be fully detached from the blades, enabling thorough cleaning and maintenance. Forprene is an elastomer compliant with NATO standards for weathering extreme conditions.

Each knife comes with its own sheath, also fashioned after military criteria. Sheaths are not designed for food preparation hygiene, but rather for maximum safety in carrying an extremely sharp blade, while shielding it from impacts and preserving its sharpness. Therefore, we recommend only sheathing these kitchen knives for transportation and long-term storage. We’re confident our affectionate customers already know how to handle fine blades, anyway, and new customers will learn in no time! GENOVESE is a cleaver for chopping through boned joints.
