The mysteries of the tiny hole in your kitchen knife

Discover the well-kept secrets of the micro-hole found on most kitchen knives and how it can revolutionize your everyday cooking.

An innovation to protect your knife and make cutting easier

When you use your knife to slice tough foods such as bones or thick pieces of meat, the blade is subjected to significant stress. This pressure can damage the blade, cause cracks, or make it uncomfortable to grip. The circular hole was specially designed to distribute this pressure more evenly.

Imagine it as a shock absorber between your hands and the blade: it reduces vibrations, thus extending the life of your knife. But that’s not all: this small detail also offers other practical features you might not have considered!
