Founded in 1814 and passed down through seven generations of family, Trifurcation is one of the three largest knife manufacturers in Germany, all of which are made in the famous knife city of Solingen. Although the scale of Sanprong's enterprise is not as large as that of its main competitor Zwilling Renren, it is well-known in the European and American professional kitchen knife market and is a representative of high-quality German brands. The three-pronged kitchen knife has a relatively simple appearance design, which is more suitable for ordinary users than Japanese knives with collectible value, and the slightly heavier feel and blade design are also more suitable for Chinese cooking.
 
Japanese kitchen knives on the market generally use VG-10 steel, and X50CrMoV15 is the general steel for German kitchen knives. The three-pronged kitchen knife has no pattern in the material, and the unified use of X50CrMoV15 steel with a carbon content of 0.5%, this steel has a low hardness, about 55HRC, but relatively speaking, the toughness is moderate, and it is not so easy to chip.
 
In the mid-to-high-end product line, the trifurcation makes up for the lack of steel through a more precise heat treatment process, resulting in a hardness of 58HRC, which is still not as hard as SG-2 and VG-10 knives, but is enough to handle daily cooking efficiently.
 
Most importantly, the three-pronged knife has a balance of sharpness and durability, and its comprehensive ability to be among the best in the industry, so in the field of professional kitchen knives, the audience base is not inferior to that of Japanese kitchen knives, among which the Classic and Classic Ikon series are highly recommended by Consumer Reports in the United States and Choice magazine in Hong Kong.
 
Classic and Classic Ikon are the main series of three prongs, the knife type is rich, basically including all Western-style kitchen knives, there are also Japanese-style Sande knives and Chinese-style slice knives, the price and performance of the two series are similar, mainly the handle is different, Classic Ikon handle is cylindrical, Classic is an ordinary flat handle, Classic Ikon's handle has a better grip and fits more in the palm of the hand, but in terms of kitchen knife feel, The Classic has a better balance between the handle and the blade, resulting in a better overall user experience, and the handguard between the finger brace and the blade prevents fingers from slipping into the blade.
 
Compared with the Classic series, the price of the three-pronged kitchen knife is within a reasonable range, the price of the Classic series is about 1000 yuan, and there are fewer products in the domestic market, but the price of overseas shopping will not be too high, and the overall cost performance is high.
 
The retailer of the three prongs in the Chinese market is Fissler, and the product line is mainly the Silver Boiling Point (Silverpoint) and Pro series, both of which are stamped knives and are not as good as forged knives such as the Classic series. Stamping knife is a whole piece of steel laser cutting to get the prototype of the knife, in the early knife manufacturing that the performance of the stamping knife is poor, but now the manufacturing process of the stamping knife is enough to produce high-quality kitchen knives, compared with the domestic ordinary kitchen knife, the three-pronged stamping knife has advantages in sharpness and durability, and the official price in China is about 500 yuan.
