Unlike traditional knives where gaps can form between the blade and handle, this design prevents water from seeping into the handle, making cleaning simple with just a rinse and wipe. This enhances the durability of the knife and improves hygiene. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15654406.gif https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955272.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15936478.gif While professional knives offer excellent sharpness and edge retention, issues like rust, nicks, breakage, and warping can lead to significant challenges in daily maintenance and subsequent repairs. To combat Taiwan's humid climate, Yeh Tien utilizes high-hardness stainless steel combined with composite steel technology to create a steel that is both sharp and exceptionally durable. This allows everyday home users to experience professional-grade cutting performance with peace of mind, while simplifying complex knife maintenance. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955280.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15936501.jpg Sanmai steel is a composite steel technology originating from Japan. It features high-toughness outer steel layers protecting the inner high-hardness steel core, achieving a balance of outer toughness and inner hardness. This protects the brittle yet sharp inner steel, enabling the knife to possess both sharpness and durability. It is the key technology for bringing professional 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 Yeh Tien knife is hand-sharpened by a master craftsman.

Dishwashers and dish dryers are not recommended. 2. After washing, air dry the knife in a well-ventilated, cool place. 3.

Important Notes: * It is not recommended for non-professionals to sharpen the knife themselves using tools like whetstones. * Dishwashers and dish dryers are not recommended for cleaning. 【Yeh Tien History】 In the early days of 1924, the first-generation owner, Yeh Ah-Tien, founded "Yeh Ah-Tien Blacksmith Shop," producing "agricultural knives" using traditional hand-forging methods. The sickles, hoes, and pruning shears produced at the time were widely known and marked the earliest origin of Yeh Tien's knife craftsmanship. In 1980, the fourth generation took over and began producing household kitchen knives, extensively applying Japanese composite steel technology to their designs. The company then transitioned into an OEM factory for various brands, producing knives for cutlery brands across Taiwan. In 1990, it was renamed "Yeh Tien Cutlery Co., Ltd." To this day, after a century, "Yeh Tien" continues to focus on creating knives suitable for Taiwanese users. By combining modern design with a century of craftsmanship, the company has established a local Taiwanese brand of high-quality knives that align with modern lifestyles, complete with physical stores, and remains dedicated to serving the public.
