To combat Taiwan's humid climate, Ye Tian utilizes high-hardness stainless steel combined with composite steel technology, creating a material that is both sharp and exceptionally durable. This allows everyday users to experience with confidence the cutting precision of professional-grade knives, while minimizing the need for complex maintenance. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955280.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15936501.jpg San Mai steel is a composite steel technology originating from Japan, where outer layers of high-toughness steel protect a core of high-hardness steel, achieving a balance of outer flexibility and inner rigidity. This structure safeguards the hard yet brittle inner core, enabling the knife to possess both sharpness and durability. It is a key technology in bringing professional-grade knives to home kitchens. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955285.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15962482.gif Each Ye Tian knife is meticulously hand-sharpened by skilled artisans, a technique honed through years of experience that cannot be replicated by automated machinery. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781649.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781828.jpg Product Specifications: ● Classic Bakelite Fruit Knife Dimensions: ● Total Length: 27.5 cm ● Blade Length: 15.6 cm (measured at the longest point) ● Blade Width: 3.5 cm (measured at the widest point) ● Thickness: 1.8 mm (measured at the spine) ● Weight: 150.5 g ● Steel Type: San Mai Composite Steel ● Steel Material: 9Cr steel core; 430 stainless steel outer layers ● Handle Material: Bakelite *Measurements for Ye Tian kitchen knives are handmade, and there may be slight variations in weight, dimensions, and wood color.

Clean with water or mild detergent only. Dishwashers and drying machines are not recommended. 2. After washing, allow the knife to air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. 3. Avoid using abrasive cleaners such as steel wool, as they can damage the knife's surface and shorten its lifespan. 【Maintenance During Food Preparation】 1. If cutting acidic or sticky foods, be sure to wash the knife thoroughly afterward. 2. Always thaw frozen foods before cutting to prevent damage to the blade. 3. Use knives on a cutting board. Using them on hard surfaces like concrete, tiles, or ceramic plates will accelerate blade wear. 4. Slicing knives are suitable for peeling and slicing, but not for chopping hard ingredients, to avoid edge deformation or chipping. For bone-in ingredients, a cleaver is recommended. 【Handle Care】 1. Under normal use, the handle requires no special maintenance. 2. Important Notes: * It is not recommended for non-professionals to sharpen knives using whetstones or similar tools. * Dishwashers and drying machines are not recommended for cleaning. 【History of Ye Tian】 In the early 1920s, the founder, Ye A-Tian, established "Ye A-Tian Blacksmith Shop," producing agricultural tools using traditional blacksmithing methods. Knives, hoes, and pruning shears from that era were widely known and marked the humble beginnings of Ye Tian's knife craftsmanship. In the 1980s, the fourth generation took over and began producing household kitchen knives, integrating Japanese composite steel technology. The company transitioned into an OEM manufacturer for major brands, producing knives for various cutlery brands across Taiwan. Renamed "Ye Tian Cutlery Co., Ltd." in the 1990s, "Ye Tian" has, over a century, focused on creating knives suited for Taiwanese lifestyles. By combining modern design with a century of craftsmanship, the brand offers high-quality, locally made knives that align with contemporary living habits, complete with a physical store dedicated to serving the community with care.
