FAQs

Blackening of knives is a technique that darkens the blade by forming a layer of "black rust" on its surface. This black rust coats the blade with magnetite (Fe₃O₄), protecting it from red rust and corrosion. Additionally, the sleek black finish lends a unique aesthetic and elegance to the knife, making it highly appreciated as a kitchen decoration or a gift. Note that blackening is a surface treatment, so sharpening the knife may remove the black layer.

420J2 steel is known for its high hardness, wear resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, and great strength. These characteristics enhance the durability of blades and tools, making it particularly suited for use in humid and salty environments. The heat-treating process, involving hardening and tempering, is facilitated by its high carbon content, which also contributes to the longevity of the products. Moreover, 420J2 steel is extensively used to improve the quality of various products that require heat resistance and wear resistance, such as valves, blades, valve seats, rulers, nozzles, medical equipment, and shafts.
