Daily maintenance and subsequent repairs can be a significant hassle. To combat the humid climate of Taiwan, Ye Tian utilizes high-hardness stainless steel paired with composite steel technology to create exceptionally sharp and durable blades. This allows home users to experience professional-grade cutting performance with ease, without the burden of complicated knife maintenance. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955280.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15936501.jpg San-mai steel is a composite steel technology originating from Japan. It features tough outer layers of steel protecting a core of high-hardness steel, achieving a balance of flexibility and rigidity. This construction safeguards the hard yet brittle inner core, allowing the knife to possess both exceptional sharpness and remarkable durability. It's a key technology that brings professional-grade knives into the home. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955285.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15962482.gif Each Ye Tian knife is meticulously hand-sharpened by skilled artisans, a testament to years of experience that automated machinery cannot replicate. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781649.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781868.jpg "Product Specifications" ● Classic Bakelite - Taichung Jian Xiao / Slicing Knife Dimensions: ● Total Length: 29.5 cm ● Blade Length: 18.2 cm (measured at the longest point) ● Blade Width: 7 cm (measured at the widest point) ● Thickness: 1.2 mm (measured at the spine) ● Weight: 219g ● Steel Type: San-mai Composite Steel ● Steel Material: 9Cr18MoV core; 430 stainless steel outer layers ● Handle Material: Bakelite ※ Measurements for Ye Tian kitchen knives are handmade, so there may be slight variations in weight, dimensions, and wood color.

[History of Ye Tian] In the early 1924, the founder Ye A-Tian established "Ye Tian Blacksmith Shop," producing agricultural tools like sickles, hoes, and pruning shears using traditional hand-forging methods. These tools became widely known, marking the humble beginnings of Ye Tian's knife craftsmanship. In 1980, the fourth generation took over and began producing household kitchen knives, extensively applying Japanese composite steel technology. The company transitioned into an OEM factory, producing knives for various cutlery brands across Taiwan. Renamed "Ye Tian Knife Co., Ltd." in 1990, the company, now over a century old, continues to innovate. "Ye Tian" focuses on creating knives suited for Taiwanese lifestyles, blending modern design with centuries of craftsmanship. They offer high-quality, locally made knives designed for contemporary living, with a physical store dedicated to serving customers with care and dedication.
