The Double-D recessed edge is the series of three razor-sharp edges on the blade with pointed teeth that protect it from coming in contact with surfaces that can dull the knife. The edge allows the blade to cut forward, backward or straight down with equal ease. Honing applies the final beveled edge (cantle) on straight-edge knives, creating a sharp consistent cutting edge. The sides of the blade blank are concave ground or "hollowed out" providing both maximum clearance behind the cutting edge and minimum "drag" on food being cut. 3 steep Heating process transforms soft blades into hard blades, creating the best balance of hardness, flexibility, rust and stain resistance, and edge retention. Blade polishing removes surface imperfections in the steel, creating a beautiful finish, making blades more rust resistant and easier to clean. Handle molding incorporates ergonomic thermo-resin handle design to fit all hands, maximize the full power of the thumb and fingers, and lock the thumb and fingers in place for a firm grip. The two-piece handle is riveted to the blade with high quality nickel-silver alloy rivets. Rivets and the full blade tang are sanded flush with the handle surface, making handles smooth and comfortable grip. As a resold product, Cutco Forever Guarantee may or may not apply.
