• Maestro Ideal knives are crafted in Thiers, in the heart of the French countryside, using a traditional forge. The full tang blade is precision-forged from one single piece of Nitrox® steel for additional balance, stability and protection

• Nitrox® is a proprietary high carbon stainless steel alloy. It was jointly developed by 13th generation cutlery manufacturer Tarrerias-Bonjean and steel maker ArcelorMittal, to create high end kitchen knives that are perfectly suited for everyday use

• With a Chromium content of 16%, Nitrox® steel offers the best resistance to corrosion available for kitchen cutlery

• The blade is hardened to the sweet spot of 56 HRC on the Rockwell scale, which allows for easy re-sharpening to anyone equipped a honing steel, and doesn’t require specific tools or skills. It also offers outstanding toughness against chipping and cracking under impact or stress, and a great resistance to edge deformation, leading to a straighter, sharper cutting edge

• Equally impressive is its ability to resist being abraded in use. This wear resistance comes from both the hardness level (56 HRC) and the high carbon content (0.35%), guaranteeing a durable, razor-sharp edge

• Triple-riveted handle made of Polyoxymethylene (POM): exceptional resistance to impact, heat, and detergents. Dishwasher safe; hand wash recommended
