The Stellar combination of Carbon-Chrome-Molybdenum and Vanadium Steel offers the advantages of easy sharpening with extended edge life and resistance to rust and stains.
Each blade is fully forged from a single billet of top grade steel - not strip steel. Blades have a full length 'tang' which extends into the handle. The craftsman-ground edges will retain their sharpness through expert hardening and tempering.
The perfect taper grinding of Stellar Sabatier blades produce a fine and very strong cutting edge unlike hollow ground blades which eventually become impossible to sharpen.
Although Stellar Sabatier knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing without soaking and immediate drying and polishing with a soft dry cloth.
Regular light use of a sharpening steel, knife sharpener or electric knife sharpener will maintain the cutting edge of all Stellar Sabatier knives.
