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. 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.
