At the heart of our newly redesigned French knife collection is a new edge innovation we’re calling Asymmetrical Bevel Tech—or ABT. Developed to meet the demands of professional chefs and serious home cooks, ABT redefines what sharp really means.
What Is ABT?
Asymmetrical Bevel Tech, or ABT, is a revolutionary edge geometry that sharpens the knife at a 14° angle on one side and a 4° polished angle on the other. Unlike traditional double-bevel blades, this asymmetrical profile reduces resistance as you cut, allowing the blade to glide through food with twice the sharpness and dramatically smoother, more controlled cuts.
Why It Matters
Most knives—especially double-bevel ones—dull unevenly and require frequent, intensive maintenance to keep performing. ABT was designed to fight that. Not only does the asymmetrical edge hold its sharpness longer, but when it’s time to touch it up, a few light strokes on the back with a honing rod are all it takes to restore it to full power.
That means less time maintaining your knives, and more time focusing on—and perfecting—your craft.
Performance Tested and Proven
We didn’t just design a new bevel—we put it through industry-standard testing to prove its power. The results speak for themselves:
ICP (Initial Cutting Performance)
- What it measures: How sharp the knife is right out of the box.
- Standard requirement: >50
- Competitor score: 62
- Our score: 116
All this to say, ABT delivers nearly 2x the initial sharpness of leading competitors.
CER (Cutting Edge Retention)
- What it measures: How well the edge holds up over time.
- Standard requirement: >150
- Competitor score: 252
- Our score: 495
This means ABT retains its edge almost 2x longer, giving you unmatched durability and long-term performance.
