VantaForge Carbon Steel Chef Knife, Hand-Forged HRC60 Blade
Every VantaForge blade starts the way a smith would have made it a century ago — hand-forged from hardened carbon steel, ground down by hand, and heat-treated until it locks in at HRC60±2, a hardness most mass-produced kitchen knives never reach. What comes off the anvil is a knife with real heft and balance, ready for the demands of a working kitchen and just as at home prepping food outdoors.
Hand-forging and a high-carbon edge give this blade the density and rigidity to hold a sharp, long-lasting edge through repeated, demanding use.
Features
- Hardened high-carbon steel blade — forged for wear resistance and toughness, so the edge holds up to repeated, demanding cutting.
- Hand-forged and heat-treated — ground by hand and hardened using traditional smithing methods, reaching HRC60±2, higher than most mass-produced blades.
- Built for kitchen and outdoor use — slices through a wide range of foods and stands up to lighter outdoor tasks like cutting wood.
