Everyone remembers their first knife. This is the moment when a piece of steel, wood and a little courage creates something tangible-an object that can be picked up, used, and sometimes even passed on to future generations. For me, this was the beginning steel N690<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first knife-the steel that shaped me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I took my first steps during my training at the company Ears of corn<\/strong> (www.klosy.pl<\/a>It was there, from a piece of N690, that the knife was created, which to this day is the most important tool in our family kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not without reason. N690 steel is produced by an Austrian steel plant B\u00f6hler<\/strong>, one of the most respected tool and specialty steel manufacturers in the world. This is steel created in modern powder technologies<\/strong>, which guarantees a uniform structure, high resistance to cracking and ease of further processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
