Tramontina Stainless Steel Carving Knife, Inox

Q: What grade of stainless steel is the blade?

A: The blade is forged stainless steel suitable for commercial food contact under CE and NSF hygiene standards. Specific steel grade (304 or 430) is confirmed at order. Corrosion resistance meets commercial dishwasher cycles and acidic food exposure.

Q: Can the knife handle daily commercial dishwasher cycles?

A: Yes. Both blade and handle materials are dishwasher-safe and rated for commercial machine wash at temperatures up to 82°C. Edge retention is maintained through standard commercial wash protocols.

Q: What is the recommended sharpening interval under daily use?

A: Kitchens processing 15+ kg protein daily typically sharpen every 5–7 service days. Blade geometry supports whetstone, ceramic rod, and mechanical sharpening systems. Stainless steel composition requires slightly more aggressive grit than carbon blades.

Q: Is this knife suitable for cutting through bone or frozen product?

A: No. The blade is designed for slicing cooked meat and soft tissue only. Use a cleaver or bone saw for skeletal cuts. Frozen product will damage the edge geometry and void manufacturer specifications.

A: Yes. We stock complementary Tramontina blades including chef knives, boning knives, and slicers. Contact us with your prep workflow requirements for a matched knife set quotation. Volume pricing applies to 6+ piece orders.
