R5 Professional Stainless Steel Vegetable Knife 9 cm

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

Extra Hygienic Professional Vegetable Knife

In addition to a good chef's knife, everyone actually also needs a smaller, finer knife for the more delicate work in the kitchen. Such a knife is also called a paring knife or a universal knife by professionals, but they are better known as vegetable and fruit knives. These knives are suitable for all cutting jobs that require precision. The smaller versions are also used as a peeling knife, while the larger paring knives are great for all manual and span tasks in the kitchen. You can never have enough paring knives, small and large, and they are indispensable in the arsenal of a real star chef. Because this knife is made from one piece, there is no place left for bacteria to nest and reproduce.

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 9 centimeter long universal 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.

Modern Ergonomic One-Piece Design

The blade and hollow handle are made from one piece. They maintain perfect balance while cutting and above all, you don't have to worry about the hidden germs anymore as there are no places where they can stay and multiply. The handle is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip, safer and efficient cutting.

Blade made of high-quality German steel

This small 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.

Quality and Sustainability

A good paring knife is not something you buy for a short while, but should last for years and provide relief in all situations. Paudin stands for quality and durability, only the best types of steel are used and the finish is always of the highest level. A Paudin knife is razor-sharp, elegant and has a safe, ergonomic and comfortable grip. All this ensures that this chef's knife can rank among the strongest and best knives on the market within its segment! In short, PAUDIN kitchen knives are the knives you are looking for!

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 vegetable 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!
