An additional high-tech developement by Henckels is the Friodur process. This is an ice-hardening process where the steel is frozen in the course of manufacture down to -70 degrees celsius. This produces an exceptionally hard metal with a high degree of corrosion resistance.

Knife Storage It only makes sense to look after your knives after you have spent time and a considerable amount of money in choosing and buying them. The main types of storage products are knife blocks which stand on a kitchen worktop or a magnetic knife rack fixed to the wall. The objective is to keep each knife from coming into contact with others and avoiding possible damage to the blades. On the subject of caring for your knives, never place your knives in a dishwasher, the harsh action of dishwashers may cause chemical damage to steel and/or contact between the knives resulting in damage to the blade edges. All knives need is an immediate wash in hot soapy water by hand after use. Dry your knives immediately after washing.

Sharpening knives The traditional steel is a simple way of sharpening knives. Traditional knives like henckels should be held at an angle of 20 degrees to the steel. Pull the knife the full length of the blade across and down the steel at the same time. Alternate with the two sides of the blade. It may be easier to place the point of the steel on a chopping block to steady the action. Steels may be made from ceramic material or diamond coated as well as the tradional ones actually made from ridged steel.

Pull-through sharpeners are useful. They can be easier to handle and use than steel. They are made from steel, ceramic or diamond components. To use one simply pulls the blade through the sharpener in an even manner.

Whetstones are produced by Henckels, we also have other examples on our Accessories and Knife Sharpeners section. Whetstones produce the best results in the right hands. They also take the longest time to produce those results. If you want the bset possible results you should consider using a whetstone.
