Production Technology

The knife set employs 1040 degrees Celsius hot and minus 196 degrees Celsius cold forging processes to ensure lastingly superior performance. The hot forging process improves the overall strength and toughness by optimizing the shape and eliminating imperfections. The cold one enhances the crystal structure to increase resistance to deformation. Compared to conventional knives, the product, benefiting from its special forging processes, achieves better durability and prolonged service life.

Design Challenge

The challenge was striking a balance between hardness and toughness of the knives to enhance durability and practicality. To address that, the blade is crafted from composite steel and utilizes a multilayer structure. The core layer of high carbon steel ensures lasting sharpness, suitable for precise cutting and prolonged use. The anti corrosion surface layer of low carbon steel is uneasy to rust even under damp conditions, reducing the risk of breakage and edge rolling.

Research

Traditional Chinese knives often focus excessively on practicality while neglecting aesthetic pleasure and user experience. This product, however, demonstrates a profound understanding of traditional Chinese culture and a deep insight into modern lifestyles, and especially takes into account the needs of Chinese kitchens. It aims to bring users visual enjoyment and foster their cultural identity through unique appearance design while ensuring an efficient, effortless experience.

Inspiration

The product prioritizes both of aesthetic pleasure and practicality. Its refined forged texture significantly enhances visual layering while giving a strong 3D visual effect and a sense of dynamism. Meanwhile, the color scheme of black and silver, combined with the classic Taotie pattern as an embellishment, greatly improves visual appeal by marrying antiquity with modernity.

Project Duration

This product was developed in Beijing in February, 2024, and will be launched in China in April, 2025.

Operation Flow

The ergonomic handle adopts a reasonably concave structure at the grip area and a streamlines shape, as well as scientifically distributed weight, to offer a comfortable grip and relieve hand fatigue during prolonged use.
A slightly rough surface resulted from forging processes effectively reduces the contact area between the food and the blade, making the knives especially suitable for handling sticky food. This improves cutting efficiency, contributing to smoother and more efficient operations.
