Scope

This document specifies the sharpness and wear resistance of knives, which are designed for professional and domestic use in the preparation of food of all kinds, specifically of those knives intended for hand use.

This document describes test methods for sharpness measurement and for the evaluation of wear resistance of the cutting edge.

This document does not apply for hunting knives, pocket knives, razors or tool or utility knives (with trapezoidal blade for cutting carpets etc.). Knives with special shapes, e.g. herb chopping knives or highly curved boning knives, can only be tested in the style of this document since not all properties and test methods are applicable in a meaningful manner.
