Robert Herder K-series

Robert Herder is known for making different choices than many other knife manufacturer's, where materials are concerned. A preference of Robert Herder is always a hard type of steel. In many cases this is carbon steel with a share of at least 1% carbon. This steel is more sensitive to corrosion and it must therefore be treated with care. The type of steel and the traditional ' Dünnschliff ' method reward this care in productions with the cutting pleasure that these knives provide. The sharpness and sharpness preservation are at a higher level than that of most competitors. The sharpening method of the knives in the K-series is called the ' Kesselschen Walkschliff '. This is a manual sharpening method. It is labor intensive but the results are worth it.
