Konoll Black Dyeing – hand-forged knives with authentic character

The Black Dyeing series from Konoll Knives is a collection of kitchen knives that combine traditional hand forging, modern powder steel, and a distinctive, raw design. Each knife is an original, created with an emphasis on detail, functionality, and long-term performance.

A typical feature of this series is the dark "black forged" surface of the blade, which is created during hand forging. This process gives the knives an authentic handcrafted look and unique character – no two pieces are completely identical.

Each blade undergoes dozens of precise and carefully controlled manufacturing steps to ensure maximum quality and reliability. The core of modern MD-606 powder steel achieves a hardness of 60-63 HRC and is ground to a fine 12° edge. The result is an exceptionally clean, smooth, and precise cut with long-lasting edge retention and high durability.

Black Dyeing blades are hand-forged and then subjected to controlled heat treatment, which ensures an optimal balance between sharpness, toughness, and durability. MD-606 powder steel contributes to high blade stability and consistent cutting performance even under demanding use.

The dark forged surface is not only an aesthetic feature—it naturally protects the steel and helps reduce food sticking during cutting. In addition, hand forging creates a fine surface texture that emphasizes the individual character of each knife.

The handle is made from a combination of stabilized wood and green resin. This material was chosen for its strength, moisture resistance, and visual appeal. It offers a comfortable, secure grip and balance that will be appreciated by both home cooks and professionals.
