The Glestain steel, based on 440A, undergoes several stages of special heat treatment, including sub-zero processing (cryogenic treatment). This meticulous process ensures high corrosion resistance, wear resistance, heat and cold resistance, toughness (strength), stability of hardness (HRC 58-59), and sustained sharpness. The result is a knife that meets the rigorous demands of professionals, revolutionizing traditional knives in every aspect. This world-renowned knife minimizes the adherence resistance on the sides during cutting. It is designed to be highly functional, with excellent sharpness, and is very easy to sharpen due to the small grinding area.
