Alleima® 10C28Mo2 is a martensitic stainless chromium steel developed for razor blades and knife applications where high corrosion resistance is required. Its carefully balanced composition and fine microstructure provide a combination of hardness, edge retention, toughness and ease of sharpening.
The convex grind is designed to help food release from the blade while maintaining a clean, efficient cutting geometry.

Cutting Performance
This Nakiri is particularly well suited to push cutting vegetables. The blade profile and geometry make it a very capable all-round vegetable knife, whether you're chopping through larger vegetables such as squash or finely mincing herbs.
The fine geometry and high-performance stainless steel give the knife a precise, responsive cutting feel, while the 58 HRC hardness offers a good balance between edge retention, toughness and ease of maintenance.
