  • Velata Kitchenware FAQ
    Velata Kitchenware FAQ CERAMIC KNIVES Why use Velata Ceramic Knives? Velata Ceramic Knives are perfect for slicing, dicing and chopping your favorite fruits, vegetables and boneless meats and fish. Velata Ceramic Knives: • Are crafted from innovative ceramic materials which can be sharpened to a finer point — and stay sharper longer — than • steel knives. • Do not leave a metallic taste or smell or discolor food. • Feature ergonomic, lightweight plastic handles for precise control. • Are perfectly balanced and uniquely designed to keep the blade from touching the counter when lying on their side. Ceramic knives are intended to complement, but not replace, your steel knives, which should still be used for boning, carving, prying or cutting hard cheeses and frozen foods. What are Velata Ceramic Knives made of? They are made of Zirconium Oxide. Are ceramic knives more likely to break? What if I drop them? Ceramic knives are very durable; however, you can chip the edge if you cut into bones. You can also break the tip or snap the handle if you use it to pry or twist. Damage can occur if a ceramic knife is dropped on a hard surface. How do you clean ceramic knives? Are they dishwasher-safe? Ceramic knives should be hand-washed and wiped dry with a soft cloth. For blade discoloration, use a mild bleach solution on the blade only. We do not recommend placing ceramic knives in the dishwasher. What are the uses for each of the Velata Ceramic Knives? • Nakiri Knife: Slice and dice the most delicate vegetables without damaging their texture.

  • CLY 353 6078EC Insulating Ceramic Knife
    Rev 02 12/10/17 DATASHEET: CLY 353 6078EC Insulating Ceramic Knife The new Insulating Ceramic Knife from Clydesdale is one of the most innovative products ever to be introduced. The knife features a revolutionary new ceramic blade shape and is constructed completely from composite and ceramic material with no conductive components at all meaning it is completely insulating rather than insulated. The knife is IEC 60900:2004 and VDE compliant, rated for use up to 1000V. Leading edge of blade is sharpened to allow a cutting stroke pushing away from the user for added safety. Obtuse angle means the blade point is much stronger than conventional utility knife blades, and therefore less prone to snapping allowing the knife to be used for prising cable sheaths. The injection moulded PA GV 60 technical polymer knife body provides additional support to the blade to give even greater strength and rigidity. 1.8mm black ceramic blade is sintered from high grade raw materials at higher temperatures making it 40% tougher than standard ceramic blades with a cutting edge 15% sharper than hardened steel meaning the blade stays sharp for the life of the tool, does not require sharpening and gives a more accurate cut with less effort and less accidents. Tab on the blade guard allows it to be pulled closed easily even with gloved hands. Part No. CLY 353 6078EC Weight 60g Length 200mm Width 30mm Height 42mm Blade guard secures closed tightly Slip guard and contoured handle over the blade for safety and stows provide maximum grip and prevent neatly into handle out of the way slipping of the knife in the users when open.

Local residents informed archaeologists with the Delaware Department of State (State) Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs (Division) about the artifacts, and investigations were undertaken to locate the source of the historic material. Approximately 40,000 artifacts from Lewes Beach were recovered by archaeologists from the Division as well as many private citizens who donated their artifacts to the Delaware Department of State.

In various company sections the advantages of ceramic are successfully used: Starting with fine ceramic components to solar energy systems and the usage of laser printers.

  • Knife Skills and Knife Knowledge
    KNIFE SKILLS AND KNIFE KNOWLEDGE There are two things one must understand about knives. There is definitely a skill needed to successfully use the utensil safely and efficiently and then there is some basic understanding of the utensil. Let’s assume you are going to purchase a new knife, so let me ask you a few questions. 1. Are you right or left handed? 2. What are you going to use the knife for? 3. How much are you prepared to spend? 4. How does the knife feel in your hand? 5. Do you own another knife that can do the same job? 6. Do you know how to keep this knife sharp? 7. Where do you plan to store this knife? 8. Do you like a wooden riveted handle, molded handle, or metal handle? 9. What do you know about the manufacture of the knife? 10. If you are considering purchasing a ceramic knife, do you understand what they are made of and how they can and cannot be used? 1 TRUE OR FALSE – KNIFE KNOW HOW You can wash good knives in the dishwasher? You can let knives soak in hot soapy water? Cost has no bearing on the quality of your knife? The best knives come from Japan? Ceramic knives are best used for chopping? A solid hard surface makes a great chopping block? You only need to sharpen your knives once a year? Good knives never get dull, only cheap knives get dull? If you cut yourself with a sharp knife, it will heal quicker than if you cut yourself with a dull knife? You cannot sharpen serrated knives? In cooking, it does not matter which knife you use as long as it is a sharp one? When knives are placed in soapy water, they will turn “blade up”? Knives should be stored in a large drawer all together? 2 Some Knife History: The first pieces of cutlery were made about four thousand years ago with the discovery that iron ore could be melted and shaped into tools.
