The Refresh series, the latest design from Paudin's kitchen. Modern one-piece design, a feast for the eyes.

Extra Hygienic Professional Paring Knife of High Quality German Steel

This Office knife is made of German 1.4116 steel which, in addition to a high carbon percentage, also contains molybdenum, vanadium, manganese, silicone and chromium. This composition ensures excellent tensile strength, high hardness and good wear resistance. The high chromium content of more than 15% together with the silicone makes this knife very rustproof.

Hardening the Blade

The scaring or in a nice word quenching of the metal is done by means of liquid nitrogen, which results in an ideal crystal structure of the steel. In addition, this makes the steel extra hard. The right combination of chemicals in the steel and the final quenching ensure an extremely strong knife that excels in edge retention and therefore remains sharp.

Hand-sharpened and high hardness

The stainless high-carbon steel used is characterized by a very high hardness of more than 56 Rockwell Scale of Hardness, part C (HRC). The 12.5 centimeter long knife is ground by hand at an angle of 15 degrees per side, which leads to the exceptionally sharp end result. This combination of the steel with the grinding method used ensures a long-lasting sharp end result that you will enjoy for years.

Maintenance

Despite the fact that a PAUDIN knife is suitable for use in a dishwasher, we strongly advise against using it. A long-term warm, dirty and wet environment is simply not the best for a knife. For a long lifespan, we therefore recommend washing the office knife by hand and drying it immediately. Despite the very high carbon content, the knife should always be stored dry to prevent small rust spots.

Preferably store your paring knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip or even back in the gift box. Never leave the knife lying around in the cutlery drawer, as there is a chance that the knife will become blunt due to the constant collision with other knives. For the same reason, we also recommend the use of wooden and/or plastic cutting boards. Cutting boards made of glass, stone and other materials do not do any good to the sharpness of the knife.

No matter how good a knife is, every knife will become blunt over time and through use. Therefore, sharpening it on a sharpening steel before use would be ideal. For a longer lifespan, it is advisable to have the knife sharpened professionally once every 1 to 2 years. In this way, this knife can contribute to the cutting pleasure in your kitchen for years!
