Technology

Equipment : Selected for grinding the hardest stainless steel knives. We use special steels with a high carbon content.
For example: LIME 135 C3 steel (1.35% carbon). Possibility of a cheaper model in ordinary steel.

Cut : Designed to give a good "BITE"
Three choices for cutting:

- REGULAR CUT in a 50 drag lines/cm combination of sharpening and grinding puts the cutting edge back in household knife blades.

- FINE CUT in 68 drag lines/cm, restores the cutting edge to professional knife blades.

- EXTRA-FINE CUT : (FIS'CHROM range) : To maintain a razor edge on an already sharp knife.

Heat treatment :
This is what provides the hardness. Thanks to our high-quality equipment, FISCHER has mastered this essential aspect of manufacturing steels.

Our heat treatment guarantees a hardness of between 62 and 64 HRC which makes it possible to sharpen all knives currently on the market.

Coating
- Household and semi-professional steels coated with a corrosion protective layer.
- Professional steels, 8-micron hard chrome coat. This micro-coat increases the external strength of the cutting edges by 3 to 4 HRC.

Magnetization
An indispensable process which retains minute particles of steel produced by sharpening on the steels. This is to protect foodstuffs.
