The material

The stainless, martensitic, high-end premium chromium steel (60 HRC) with special alloy additives provides a high level of hardness due to its unique microstructure. This steel meets the same stringent standards required for precision tools and surgical instruments.

The curing process

The steel's deformability is significantly reduced through vacuum hardening at temperatures up to 1050 °C, followed by nitrogen overpressure cooling. After this extreme temperature treatment, the blade is carefully reheated in a process known as "tempering." This ensures the precise hardness level and optimal flexibility of the blade.

The cut of the blade

In the sharpening workshop, the blade blanks are initially ground using special grinding stones under strong cooling conditions, before being polished and edge-ground in several grinding processes. The fine grinding is achieved with particularly hard CBN grinding wheels. For the Bread Cut, the serrated edge—a special tooth pattern on the bread knife that allows for precise cutting—is particularly notable. This design supports the sharp blade and effortlessly slices through the hard bread crust as well as the soft crumb. Thanks to the special serration, you can apply a higher localized pressure on the loaf of bread. Due to the smaller contact area of the serration points, there is minimal crumbling and crushing of the bread crumb. As a result, you can achieve well-formed bread slices with minimal effort.

The coating

The black coating has been adapted from the tool industry. It provides exceptionally high glide ability during cutting and gives the knife its unique look.

The handle

The handle scales are pre-fabricated from Micarta and then three-dimensionally machined on a multi-axis CNC machine. The ergonomic shape of the handles is achieved through meticulous hand grinding and polishing before they are securely pressed and permanently bonded to the steel.

The engraving & the finishing touches

The contour of the knife is finely polished, creating the characteristic effect of the elegant interplay between the high-gloss metal and the deep black blade. All edges of the knife, except for the cutting edge, are rounded. The laser engraving remains visible for the lifetime of the knife. Each individual knife is carefully polished and inspected by the master after the final sharpening. Only then is it approved for sale. This ensures that every TYROLIT LIFE product maintains consistent quality with each piece.
