I.o. Shen

For many years, knife manufacturers have been trying to achieve the ultimate cutting edge which is rated using a Rockwell degree scale (liken it to degrees Fahrenheit) - the highest being Rockwell 62° (this is like the boiling point of water).

However, the brittleness of the knife has made this impossible to produce commercially without using a Damascus method, which is very expensive. I.O.Shen has overcome this problem by sandwiching 2 softer outer layers of steel with Rockwell 62° to produce the ultimate cutting edge. We call this Triplex Steel Technology.

The I.O. Shen brand has been at the forefront of innovation when it comes to manufacturing the perfect blade. All of the I O Shen Knives use the very latest technology to produce a knife blade that is astonishingly sharp and will also retain their sharp edge for a long time. In addition to this fantastic technology each I O Shen knife has been hand sharpened to a 15° angle, which produces greater slicing and portion control. This brand of knife is perfect for use within a busy working kitchen.

Alongside the Triplex Steel Technology each I O Shen Knife comes equipped with the Tai Tang handle, this handle is an integral part of the functionality of the I O Shen knives as it is part of the overall frame of each knife (Named the Tang). This fantastic handle makes using the knife easy when incorporated into the lunch time rush of a fast moving restaurant.
