These knives have composite blades made from very pure stain-resistant high-carbon steel alloyed with Molybdenum, which is then plated with 13 chrome stainless steel, leaving just the cutting edge of the inner blade exposed. The result is a blade that will take and hold an extremely sharp edge, but is protected by the stainless outer layer. The DP series has double-bevel blades (the cutting edge is angled on both sides of the blade), the style to which most UK cooks are accustomed. Handles are of laminated hardwood impregnated with resin. |
