HYBRID CERAMIC-STEEL CHEF'S KNIFE 20CM - 1ST GEN

INNOVATIVE HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

ONYX COOKWARE™ knives are nothing short of a revolution in your kitchen. They deliver the extreme sharpness we all want from our kitchen knives, combined with maximum durability and longevity in every part of the knife – from the edge and blade to the handle.

We combine several unique materials and manufacturing processes to offer you what we genuinely believe are the best kitchen knives ever made.

THE EDGE – SHARPNESS THAT LASTS LONGER

The edge of an ONYX COOKWARE™ knife uses our patented hybrid combination of ceramic and steel to give you the best of both materials – without the drawbacks: the exceptional long-lasting sharpness of ceramic combined with the quality, durability, and strength of steel.

During the forging process, we use a 5 mm thick plate made from our ceramic-steel composite, which is plasma welded into the steel blade. This creates an edge with an incredible hardness of 64 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This means our knives stay sharp longer than traditional steel knives on the market.

Each knife edge is then precision-ground to perfection. The unique composition of our patented hybrid ceramic-steel material allows us to use more aggressive sharpening methods than are normally possible with standard steel knives. The result is the sharpest edge you are ever likely to experience – and continue using – without rapid dulling.

THE BLADE – BEAUTIFUL TITANIUM PROTECTION

The blade of an ONYX COOKWARE™ knife is built around a high-quality steel core. It is then reinforced with a titanium layer through a process where titanium is vaporized and applied to the blade one atom at a time. During this process, the titanium and steel fuse together into a new, solid substance. Traditional coatings eventually wear off, but ours does not, as it is bonded to the steel at the atomic level.

The blade of an ONYX COOKWARE™ knife is made from a core of premium German steel. This core is strengthened with a titanium layer through a process in which titanium is vaporized and applied atom by atom. During this process, the titanium and steel merge into a new, solid material. This is why we refer to it as a layer rather than a coating. Coatings can wear away or fade over time, but our titanium layer remains permanently bonded to the steel at the atomic level.

THE HANDLE – FIBERGLASS PERFECTION

It may not be the first thing people consider when choosing a new knife, but the handle is actually extremely important. It is the key factor behind a knife’s balance and ergonomics. After all, there is little point in having an incredibly sharp knife if it is uncomfortable to use.

ONYX COOKWARE™ knives feature high-quality fiberglass handles that provide excellent balance and weight distribution, while also offering a water- and dirt-resistant surface for safer handling in the kitchen. And if you ask us, they look fantastic too.

CHEF'S KNIFE

The chef’s knife is the ultimate all-rounder and by far the most commonly used knife in the kitchen. If you are unsure which knife to use, choose the chef’s knife. It can handle more kitchen tasks than any other knife – from slicing meat to chopping vegetables and fine dicing.

The advantage of a chef’s knife lies in its long, wide blade, which makes it easy to control when cutting meat, whether you are slicing large roasts or carving thin pieces of cold cuts. The curved profile of the blade allows for a smooth rocking motion when finely slicing ingredients.

If you only have room for one knife in your drawer, make it a chef’s knife!
