CRAFTSTONE CUSTOM CHEF KNIVES FEATURES
Craftstone knives are created with finest attention to quality and craftmanship.
The blades are made with superior German steel while the handles and other decorative features are made with the finest natural stone and wood.
CRAFTSTONE CUSTOM CHEF KNIVES BLADES
Our blades are made of German 1.4116 Krupp forged Steel. This steel is known for its superior quality in Chef Knives. It has a hardness rating of 58 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale.
During manufacturing the blades undergo vacuum heat and tempering treatment, as well as a Cryogenic Hardening where the blades are cooled to approximately −185 °C (−301°F) in liquid Nitrogen.
These treatments give our blades the perfect mix of durability and edge retention, they are also easy to sharpen and have excellent resistance to oxidation.
CRAFTSTONE CUSTOM CHEF KNIVES HANDLES
Our handle materials are sourced from either natural stone: marble, granite and semi-precious or from hardwoods around the world.
Due to the fact that each handle is made from natural materials they will all have a unique, one of a kind variation in their colors and patterns.
The handles of our knives blend into the bolster of the blade, so that when you grip your handle you are also gripping the back of the blade with our comfortable ergonomic design.

All Craftstone knives come with our brands signature colored faceted stone at the back of your knife, as well as your choice of handle material.
You can choose from either a beautiful cubic zirconia stone or a genuine precious or semi-precious stone. You can add optional decorative rings between the handle and the blade made from your choice of brass, steel, semi-precious stones. We also offer rings with engraved designs and set gemstones.
