CUTLERY Whether you are designing knives for the kitchen or for sporting applications, you have specific requirements for sharpness, edge retention, frequency of sharpening and corrosion resistance. At QuesTek, we have employed our Materials by Design® technology to design a variety of stainless and non-stainless materials to meet your needs. These materials have been extensively tested by the Cutlery & Allied Trade Research Association (CATRA), the worlds leading cutlery and cutting technology center located in Sheffield, England and have met the highest quality standards. You can choose from several excellent materials that may meet your needs including Ferrium® S53, Ferrium® M60S, or Ferrium® C69. Testing conducted by CATRA shows all of these alloys meeting ISO 8442.5 standards with QuesTek's new Ferrium M60S stainless alloy being among the best steels ever tested for edge retention.
