BOONLION HMONG CLASSIC & MODERN KNIVES

At BOONLION, we carefully select only high-performance steels to forge our Hmong knives—each chosen for its strength, edge retention, and toughness. Our lineup includes 7Cr17 is a perfect match for chopper knives, offering a strong balance of durability, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It resists rust even during heavy meat and bone work. Its 0.7% carbon content allows it to reach 55–58 HRC—hard enough for a sharp edge, yet tough enough to handle impact without chipping. 1080+ high-carbon steel provides excellent hardness and is favored for its reliable performance in cutting and chopping. Alloy steels offer balanced toughness and wear resistance for blades that take a beating and stay strong. For higher-grade performance, 9Cr18 steel is a premium knife steel with about 1% carbon and 18% chromium, known for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its vacuum deep-cooling heat treatment creates a sharp, durable edge that balances toughness and sharpness—making it perfect for heavy-duty chopping of meat and bone without dulling or rusting, and ensuring long-lasting, low-maintenance performance. SUJ2 high-carbon steel from Japan is a top-tier choice for chopper knives, offering excellent hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance. Its fine grain structure allows for a sharp, precise edge, while heat treatment boosts durability and strength. Perfect for chopping pork, beef, or game, SUJ2 delivers reliable performance with every cut. N695 by Böhler provides excellent corrosion resistance, sharpness, and a clean grind. And for collectors and professionals. SKD11 and K110 are both high-quality tool steels with high carbon and chromium content, providing excellent hardness, wear resistance, and toughness. SKD11 is known for its strong edge retention and impact resistance, making it reliable for heavy chopping and industrial use. K110 offers outstanding hardness, edge stability, and better corrosion resistance compared to many tool steels, ensuring long-lasting sharpness. Together, these steels deliver durable, sharp edges ideal for premium chopper knives that withstand heavy use without dulling or damage. Finally, our Apex Ultra Damascus combines high-carbon laminated steel’s beauty and cutting power, marrying tradition with elite metallurgy.

BOONLION Professional Chef Knife

At BOONLION, we carefully select premium steels known for their razor-sharp edges, long-lasting sharpness, and excellent performance in professional kitchens. For our chef knives, we use a range of proven steels such as 1.4116, a German stainless steel valued for its corrosion resistance, easy sharpening, and reliable edge retention. VG10, 10Cr18MoV, 12Cr18MoV, and 14Cr18MoV steels are premium high-chromium stainless steels widely respected for their excellent hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention—qualities that make them ideal for high-performance knives. When treated with vacuum deep-cooling heat treatment, these steels achieve even greater strength and durability. This advanced process uses precisely controlled heating and cooling cycles to reduce internal stresses, refine the steel’s microstructure, and enhance carbide formation. The result is a blade with superior hardness, improved toughness, and an exceptionally sharp, long-lasting edge. Additionally, the high chromium content (ranging from 10% in 10Cr18MoV to 14% in 14Cr18MoV) ensures outstanding resistance to rust and corrosion, even in wet or acidic kitchen environments. Knives made from these steels with vacuum deep-cooling treatment deliver the perfect balance of sharpness, durability, and low maintenance—making them highly reliable tools for professional chefs and serious home cooks alike. We also use Damascus steel, layered for strength and admired for its beauty, combining both performance and aesthetics. Suj2, a high-carbon Japanese steel, provides excellent hardness and a fine edge ideal for precision work. For heavy-duty kitchen tasks, we include SKD11 and Böhler N695, high-carbon tool and stainless steels known for exceptional toughness, edge stability, and long-term durability. These steels are the foundation of every Boonlion Professional Chef Knife—designed to deliver superior control, strength, and reliability in every cut.

Vacuum Heat Treatment with Deep Cryogenic Hardening and Tempering

Deep-Cooled Performance Steel

Vacuum deep-cooling heat treatment—also known as vacuum sub-zero or cryogenic treatment—is a high-precision thermal process that dramatically enhances the performance of high-carbon and tool steels, especially in knife making. The process begins with vacuum heat treatment, where the steel is heated in a vacuum furnace at temperatures around 1000–1100°C (1800–2000°F), eliminating oxygen to prevent oxidation and ensure a clean, controlled hardening environment. This improves the blade’s hardness, strength, and purity. Next, the blade undergoes quenching, rapidly cooling in oil or inert gas to lock in its hardened structure. It is then subjected to deep cryogenic cooling, where temperatures drop to as low as -196°C (-320°F) using liquid nitrogen. This phase transforms retained austenite into martensite, the hardest steel phase, significantly boosting wear resistance, edge retention, dimensional stability, and long-term toughness. Finally, the blade is tempered—gently reheated to 150–200°C (300–400°F)—to reduce brittleness while preserving its improved hardness. The result is a blade with exceptional cutting performance, superior structural stability, and lasting durability.

Oil Heat Treatment

Forged & Oil-Hardened

Oil heat treatment is a widely used method for hardening steel blades. The process begins by heating the steel to a high temperature—typically between 800°C and 1100°C (1470°F to 2010°F)—to transform its internal structure into austenite. Once heated, the blade is rapidly cooled by immersing it in oil, which provides a faster quench than air while being gentler than water, helping to prevent cracking or warping. This cooling phase transforms the austenite into martensite, a strong, hard crystal structure that greatly enhances the blade’s edge retention and durability. After quenching, the blade is often tempered at a lower temperature to relieve brittleness and improve toughness. Knife makers prefer oil heat treatment because it offers efficient hardening, superior edge performance, and a reduced risk of structural damage during the quenching process.
