Pizza Rocker Knife

A rocker knife, also called mezzaluna or pizza cutter blade, is large blade designed to cut pizza with a rocking motion. Rocker Knives are heavy, sharp and cut straight through both toppings and crust.

This knife is made from 1095 steel. 1095 steel is the highest carbon steel commonly used in knives. It has a carbon level of .95% which is one of the highest carbon levels for any type of steel. The most common high carbon knives are 1045 steel which only have .45% carbon content in the steel. 1095 steel is known for its ability to maintain an edge and is an incredibly hard steel. 1095 steel typically has a hardness of 56-58 HRC. The problem with 1095 steel is that it is lacks flexibility. Flexibility is critical to knives making so the knives doesn't break on high impact collisions. To increase the flexibility of this steel, clay tempering is used to soften the steel. The clay is thickly painted on the blade to insulates the parts of the blade that we want softened so they cool more slowly during the quenching process. In this case, the clay is painted everywhere except the edge. This clay tempering process keeps the strong and sharp edge of the blade while allowing the rest of the blade to be more flexible. This process optimizes the strength of the blade and maximizes its sharpness creating an incredible strong blade and sharp edge.
