Sandvik 12C27 – stainless steel for regular use

Sandvik 12C27 is a stainless steel valued for its good corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and stable cutting edge performance. In kitchen use, it withstands regular contact with moisture, food juices, and daily use on a cutting board. This material is suitable for those who expect practical maintenance and predictable blade performance.

A hardness of 55–57 HRC provides a functional balance between edge durability and the ability to quickly restore sharpness. The knife can be easily sharpened on water stones, ceramic sharpeners, or guided sharpening systems, allowing you to maintain high cutting performance in everyday kitchen work.

Gyuto Profile – Versatility in Slicing, Chopping, and Portioning

The Gyuto profile is a Japanese interpretation of the chef’s knife, valued for its versatility and smooth glide across the cutting board. The long blade allows for comfortable slicing of larger vegetables, slicing meat, portioning fish, and efficient preparation of ingredients for cooking. The blade geometry supports both pushing motions and a rocking technique.

The slender tip increases precision for more delicate tasks, while the extended edge allows for efficient handling of larger-surface items. The Satin finish gives the blade a clean, professional look that fits well with the practical character of the Pratiko 3 series.

Black G10 – a durable handle for kitchen work

The handle made of G10 ensures high mechanical resistance, dimensional stability, and good moisture tolerance. The material performs well in a kitchen environment, where the knife comes into regular contact with water, steam, and fluctuating temperatures. The textured surface promotes a more secure grip, even during intensive work and with damp hands.

The Black color gives the design a simple, professional look. The handle retains its functional character and works well with the long Gyuto blade, ensuring comfort while slicing, dicing, and chopping. This is a practical solution for users who value durable materials and a modern kitchen knife design.
