The core of the knife is made of 10Cr15CoMov steel and is protected on both sides by SuS410 stainless steel. The blade has a hardness of 58-62 Rockwell. The high-quality steel in combination with traditional production techniques ensure a long service life of the knife. The surface of the blade allows a perfect cut with a minimum of friction and sticking of food. The blade of the knife is manually sharpened at an optimal angle of 15° on both sides. You can recognize the blade of the knives from the PM8S series at first glance thanks to the unique retro-style appearance with the matte black color and rough structure. Small rust spots can appear on the SuS410 steel if it is not kept properly dry. This is due to the rough surface of the material and the high carbon content. However, any rust spots can easily be removed with a cloth and food-safe oil. The handle has the same retro style as the blade.
