A Rockwell hardness of 60±2 indicates a relatively hard blade, which allows it to hold a razor-sharp edge for much longer than softer steel knives. While this makes the blade excellent for slicing, it also means it is slightly more brittle, so you should avoid using it on frozen foods or bones to prevent chipping.
