For fruit and veg preparation
Gustav Emil Ern chefs knives are manufactured in Solingen, Germany. Solingen, “the City of Blades” is renowned throughout the world for the production of exceptional quality chefs and butchers knives.
The superb quality of our knives is the result of using only the finest materials, together with a long tradition of expertise and craftsmanship. A superior grade of stainless steel is used in production, obtained from the finest steel with carbon, molybdenum and vanadium. The combination of these materials and careful hardening, grinding and polishing, guarantee a superior and longer lasting cutting edge together with high corrosion resistance.
Knife designs have evolved over centuries and specific tasks require knives of different weights and design. For this reason we have listed our most popular riveted range according to whether the blade weight is heavy (fully forged) or less heavy (stamped).
The Riveted Range - Fully Forged
Crafted according to traditional methods from one piece of high grade stainless steel. Forging is a long and carefully controlled process, combining several processes of super-heating and super-cooling to produce a perfectly balanced knife of lasting quality and strength. The resulting knives, with their extra weight, give exceptional performance, even for the preparation of hard root vegetables, such as potatoes or parsnips, and are also ideally suited to precise tasks such as fine carving, filleting and slicing.
