How does the Brigade Forgé Premium range combine modernity and ergonomics?

• Perfect balance: The design of these knives ensures an ideal distribution of weight between the blade and the handle, for optimal handling and control.

Why is a forged knife superior for professional use?

A forged knife is superior for professional use because its manufacturing process gives it unparalleled strength, balance, and edge retention. The blade is hot-forged from a single piece of steel, which densifies its structure and makes it much stronger than a stamped blade.

• Increased robustness: Forging makes the steel denser and stronger, preventing any risk of breakage or twisting of the blade.
• Optimal balance: The presence of a bolster and a tang (the part of the blade that extends into the handle) ensures perfect weight distribution, making the knife more maneuverable.
• Long-lasting sharpness: The molecular structure of forged steel allows for a finer cutting edge and maintains it for longer, reducing the need for sharpening.

Although developed for chefs, our professional knives are the perfect companions for all cooking enthusiasts who want to equip themselves with high-performance and durable tools. They bring the guarantee of professional quality to your home kitchen.
