    The ETCH promise: sharpness, grip, soul

    An exceptional knife is defined by the quality of its components and the perfection of its ergonomics. An ETCH knife is designed without any compromise on these aspects, to offer you an optimal cutting experience.

    The blade: the secret of French Nitrox® 58 HRC steel

    • Sharpness and Durability: The heart of your knife is its blade. ETCH has chosen premium Nitrox® stainless steel, a French steel enriched with nitrogen. Its high Rockwell hardness of 58 HRC guarantees an exceptionally sharp, precise, and highly durable edge.
    • Maintenance and Durability: In addition to its cutting performance, this steel offers very high corrosion resistance. It is also easy to maintain; a simple sharpening once a year is generally sufficient for domestic use.

    The handle: the warmth and comfort of French cherry wood

    • A noble and unique material: The handle is crafted from solid cherry wood, sourced from French forests. Its natural grain, always different, makes each ETCH knife an absolutely unique piece.
    • Comfort and Balance: Its round, ergonomic shape was designed for an intuitive grip and maximum comfort, even during long preparation sessions. Its weight is calculated to offer optimal balance with the blade, giving you perfect control of your movement.
    • Protection: To guarantee its longevity and resistance to water and kitchen dirt, each handle is protected by two layers of high-resistance varnish.

    The design: Japanese minimalism in the service of functionality

    The design of an ETCH knife is minimalist and functional. Its clean, Japanese-inspired style highlights the beauty of the materials. Furthermore, its invisible rivets ensure a perfect line and impeccable hygiene. Finally, the ETCH logo, discreetly engraved on the blade, marks each piece as a promise of quality.

    An essential collection: 4 knives for all your cooking successes

    ETCH's philosophy is simple: "Less is more." There's no need to clutter your kitchen with dozens of knives. The brand has therefore concentrated all its expertise into a collection of four essential knives. Together, they cover 99% of your cooking needs.
