Knives with the highest precision
Whether santoku knife, carving knife, or paring knives: Tyrolit’s cutting tools meet the highest quality standards.
Their blades are ice-hardened multiple times (with hardness ratings of 56 HRC for the Iceline and 60 HRC for the Darkline series) and ensure high precision, even in complex tasks.
Ergonomically designed, they make even prolonged cutting effortless.
Grinding has been a core competence of Tyrolit for 100 years. The selection of different abrasives is correspondingly large.
It ranges from sharpening stones and whetstones in different grits to knife sharpeners with a preset sharpening angle to sharpening stones that are integrated into knife blocks and cutting boards.

Professional chefs rely on very different knife types and manufacturers, depending on personal preferences and area of application. High processing quality, an ergonomic design and durability are important – for example, Tyrolit’s premium knives.
How many knives do you need in the kitchen?
Essentially, a multitude of cutting tasks can already be accomplished with a general-purpose knife or chef’s knife. However, the more complex the task, the more specialized the knife’s requirements become. Therefore, it depends on the intended use whether additional knives, such as carving knife, filet knife, cheese knife, paring knife or peeling knives, are necessary. Conversely, a bread knife should be a staple in every kitchen.
How much should a good knife cost?
Good knives can be found for a price of less than 100 euros. In order to keep acquisition costs low despite high quality standards, the purchase of knives in a set is a good idea. This way, premium knives can be purchased at a significantly cheaper price.
What is the hardness level (HRC) of Tyrolit Life knives?
Tyrolit knives from the Iceline knife series are made of stainless steel and with a hardness of 56 HRC. The knives from the Darkline knife series, on the other hand, are made of high-end stainless chrome steel and have a hardness of 60 HRC.
Which sharpening angle is optimal for a Tyrolit Life chef's knife?
As with most European knife types, a sharpening angle of 15 degrees is suitable for the Tyrolit Life chef’s knife. This angle allows a balance between sharpness and stability of the blade and is already preset in the Tyrolit Life knife sharpeners.
