4. Adjusting

Following assembly the joint between handle and bolster is adjusted and levelled. At this step excess material is removed to make sure that the joint is absolutely smooth. Thus bacteria and germs stand no chance. Perfect handling and hygiene is guaranteed.

Thus the honed area achieves a degree of evenness from the tip to the bolster which, in combination with the hardness of the steel, ensures an unprecedented degree of cutting edge retention.
