2108756 9219424 PCTABS00017 The invention relates to knife blades and in particular to a method of their production, and has for its object the provision of a knife blade with a cutting edge formed by a surface harder than the material of the body of the blade. This objective is met by a method comprising grinding a first face (2) of a V-shaped cutting edge to one side of the blank (1) to locate the lower edge of the first side face (2) at the approximate mid-point across the thickness of the blank (1), providing on the partly-ground blank (1) a hard surface (3) around the periphery of the blank (1) at least over the height of the first ground face (2) and grinding a second face (4) of the V-shaped cutting edge to the opposite side of the blank (1), to locate the V-shaped cutting edge at the approximate mid-point across the thickness of the blank (1).
