A blade made of a carbon steel or alloy steel is subjected to a surface nitriding process to form a high hardness nitride layer having a thickness in the range of 10 mum to 100 mum and a Vickers hardness Hv of 1000 or more, and a silver oxide layer, a copper oxide layer, or a silver oxide and copper oxide layer is formed on the high hardness nitride layer of the blade by firing. Through this processing, the blade that has a high cutting maintaining ability and an excellent sanitization ability such as antibiosis, sterilization ability, and antimold ability is provided. |
