Our new blade series “Scandinavian Chef” is the culmination of about a decade of designing and manufacturing our own knife blades. We now have unique access to a new solid stainless Damascus steel type. Therefore, we have combined all our best efforts into this new and upgraded knife blade series.
The blade is designed by Raffir product developer Michael Sort Mouritsen in cooperation with both dedicated foodies and professional chefs. We thank you all for inputs and sparring along the way.
The design draws inspiration from the functionality of both Japanese and European knife blades. Meanwhile, the lines are drawn with inspiration in the soft curves of the Danish landscape. Thereby, the result is an original and functional Scandinavian blade design.
The blade steel type is high alloy stainless Damascus steel. Since this is a solid high quality steel type there is no need for harder core steel. Core steel is required in most industrially manufactured Damascus blades. Instead, this blades is precision CNC full flat grinded from a solid bar of beautiful high alloy Damascus steel.
The two steel types that make up the cloudy pattern of the blade are 440C and N690 high alloy. We have analyzed the steel thoroughly with our cooperation partner at Raffir Brazil to ensure its quality.
This steel is one of the main reasons why we think these are the best chef knife blades we have created.
There are five models in the Scandinavian Chef blade series. First, we have the large 250mm chef knife for cutting the big roast. Secondly, there is the wide Chopper, which is perfect for slicing vegetables. We also kept the bottom corner of the edge sharp to make it perfect for peeling smaller fruits and vegetables. The small chef blade is an all rounder in the kitchen. It is suitable for at variety of foods and sizes. If you only want one knife in your kitchen (yeah right…), this is the one we recommend. Finally, we have the two smaller models: the Utility knife and the Vegetable knife. We have moved the tip a bit upward on the Utility knife. This idea came from one our test chefs. He preferred this design in order to make it more suitable for cleaning bones and for cutting food decorations. The Vegetable knife is designed with a short and slim blade to improve the user dexterity when cutting and cleaning smaller fruits and vegetables.
You can find the new blade series at our retailers. So far they are available at Læderiet, Knivkunst, Ravstedhus, Naturgalleriet, Storbua.no, Nordisches Handwerk, Brisa, Mercorne and Raffir USA.
