BECUT is a rust-resistant knife steel that combines high wear resistance with exceptional toughness and corrosion resistance. The steel was specially developed for cutting tools in the food industry and is also suitable for high-quality kitchen knives.
Three key features of the steel: edge retention, rust resistance, and sharpenability
Edge retention: high
★★★★☆
BECUT combines the wear resistance of a tool steel with a microstructure designed for knives.
Rust resistance: very high
★★★★★
The chromium content of 14.5% and its design as a rust-resistant steel enable its use even in highly corrosive environments.
Sharpenability: good
★★★★☆
BECUT combines high wear resistance with workability suitable for cutting tools. A specific manufacturer's rating for sharpenability is not available.
Areas of application
Kitchen knives: The manufacturer explicitly names high-quality chef's knives as an area of application.
Food industry: BECUT was specially developed for high-quality bowl chopper blades and is intended for food processing.
Fish processing: With suitable heat treatment, BECUT can also be used in highly corrosive environments such as factory ships, according to the manufacturer.
