Discover the closely guarded secrets of the micro-holes in most kitchen knives and how they can revolutionize your everyday cooking.
The innovation protects your knife and makes cutting easier.
When you use your knife to slice tough foods, such as bones or thick cuts of meat, the blade is subjected to considerable stress. This pressure can damage the blade, cause cracks or make it uncomfortable to hold. The round hole is specially designed to distribute this pressure more evenly.
Think of it as a shock absorber between your hands and the blade: it reduces vibrations and therefore extends the life of your knife. But that's not all: this small detail also offers other practical features that you may not have thought of!
