Why is RR knife the best choice?
HANDMADE

One of the main features of kitchen knives Handmade knives by RR is the uniqueness. Since all knives are forged, shaped, hardened and polished by hand, they do not have one exactly the same double.

MATERIALS and FORMS

Blades are made of special steel that promises long-term loyalty. Handles are made of the highest quality wood. Kitchen knives Handmade knives by RR are designed according to the model of Japanese knives.

YOUR TOUCH

Because we are aware that everyone has his own desires, needs and taste, we offer you the opportunity to build a knife in our configurator. You can choose the shape and length of the blade and the handle material yourself. You can also add a personalized inscription on the blade.

CUSTOM MADE

We are also available for special requests. We can make blades out of standard lengths and shapes. If you are up to new adventures, you can make an RR blade yourself at our forging course. 

HANDLES SHAPES AND DIMENSIONS

Handles of ‘Handmade knives by RR’ are with some improvements similar to traditional Japanese handles and they are always regardless to blade – the same shape. Handles length, which is from 100 to 140 mm, is adjusted to the blade length. 

BLADES SHAPES AND DIMENSIONS

‘Handmade Knives by RR’ are intentionally designed for specific tasks at the kitchen, that is why they have different shapes, lengths, heights and blades thickness. They are both sides milled, so they are appropriate for left-handed as well as for those who are right-handed. You can choose between six different blade shapes in three different lengths.

HANDLES MATERIAL

BLADES MATERIAL

The blade is made of martensitic stainless steel marked with W-Nr 1.4116 (EN X50CrMoV15). The material provides extremely high strength because of its structure (up to 59 HRC per Rockwell), good corrosion resistance and outstanding mechanical properties at temperatures up to 300 °C, what makes it more than appropriate for high-quality blades production. 

WHEN A LEGEND CREATES A LEGEND

Imagine a fearless man with a sharp tongue, a man with a bag full of experience from very extraordinary situations. Overall that this man has also an incredible talent. Everyone who knows him or had even heard about him or his adventures are aware that he is one of a kind, an urban myth.

Everything started in Ljubljana, in Šiška. His life was not covered with flowers. He grew up on the street, and if he wanted to survive, he had to fight. He has experienced and seen many things on his life journey. That's why he carries a set of experiences and a lot of interesting and unusual stories. Knives are also a big part of his life. He has always admired their power, shape, and sharpness. From this long-standing love, the idea of forging his own blades was born, and when his life led him to a blacksmith, who has been nourishing a blacksmith tradition and quality since 1870, RR did not waste time. He combined all his dreams, talent and knowledge into a whole and created a knife with a story. A unique product without duplicate. Each of the smallest detail on the RR blades is carefully thought out - from the material and shape of the blades to the shape of the handle and the choice of wood. The top product already tells you by the touch and by the look that a lot of time, knowledge, talent and energy has been put into it.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 

If you want to extend the life of ‘Handmade knives by RR’ as well as knife sharpness, we 

recommend you to follow suggestions below: 

  • Never cut frozen foods, bones, and bread with a knife.
  • Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board. 
  • Cut lightly so the knife will hit the board with a smaller force. 
  • Do not put RR knife in a dishwasher! 
  • Always clean a knife after you were using it – rinse it with warm water and, if necessary, apply a detergent to it and gently rub it with a sponge. Then wipe the knife with a dry kitchen cloth. Take this advice especially after you’ve cut food that has high acidity. 
  • For grinding, use steel or ceramic rod/sander. 
  • Keep the knife in the enclosed box or in the knife stand. 
  • When you are not using the knife put the blade protection on.
