[By NBC-1TV H. J Yok]Kiyang Metal Industry Co., Ltd. (CEO Myeong Jik Bae, www.goldmeister.co.kr) a company that specializes in plating process, launched “eco-friendly nano-antibacterial Golden Knife".

Golden Knife is a product that combines gold-plated titanium and the new technology for eco-friendly nano-antibacterial treatment. It is a masterpiece knife for kitchen that Myeong Jik Bae, known as a craftsman for plating and also the CEO of Kiyang Metal Industry Co., Ltd., has developed for the first time in the world through the study of more than one year.

The existing kitchen knifes are manufactured as forging a strong hit on steel; thus, they easily corrodes, and in some severe cases, they even have a problem of metal smell or rust entering into food. As an alternative to metal knife, stainless knifes are being sold instead; however, they have a problem with durability as edges become dull easily. And those ceramic products, which have recently been in the center of attentions, have a drawback that they easily break even by a weak shock.

Golden Knife, that was recently released, has done ceramic coating and nano-antibacterial treatment upon adding gold-plated titanium on the surface with stainless steel (SUS) as the base material. Plating does not come off easily by applying the ion titanium plating technique; and its resistance has been enhanced.

In particular, it can obtain the effect of sterilizing and eliminating bacteria, especially through the nano antibacterial treatment so that it can maintain the taste of food and sanitation at the same time.

Starting with the Happy World department store on August 31, Golden Knife are now being sold in offline. And a variety of kitchen utensils such as scissors, fruit knifes, etc. are being offered along with the seven kinds of Golden Knife by size.

“We expect to get a good response from professional chefs as well as households since Golden Knife, which has complemented the problems of the existing knifes, are equipped with superior strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and antibacterial effect,” Myeong Jik Bae, CEO of Kiyang Metal Industry Co., Ltd. said. “We plan to make this become a global brand as embarking actively on expanding into overseas markets along with the domestic market.”
