Good knives are a worthwhile investment in quality of life. With proper care, you will be able to enjoy quality IVO Cutelarias knives for many years, combining them with your passion for cooking.
QUALITY CONTROL
Specific Hardness (HRC) measuring equipment is used to control the entire blade tempering process. Corrosion resistance and edge durability are fully dependent on this heat treatment process.
To ensure a superior level of performance, IVO uses patented equipment to measure the cutting edge of the knives it manufactures, a procedure that guarantees an excellent cutting edge in the final product. During the manufacturing process, technical drawings of each model ensure the designed sharpening measurements, as well as constant monitoring of sharpening angles using specific laser control equipment.
Careful finishing is achieved through inspection of the blade’s final appearance, the handle details, and especially the joint between them, ensuring perfect integration of all parts into a single piece.
