Know before you buy
No, these knives feature a plain, straight edge. This design allows for cleaner slices through meat without tearing the fibers, which is common with serrated blades.
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. The high heat and moisture of a dishwasher can cause the olive wood handles to warp or crack, so we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately.
The blades are crafted from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. This material is known for its excellent edge retention and high resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for daily dining.
To keep the wood in top condition, avoid soaking the knives in water. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil to the handles will help prevent the wood from drying out and maintain its natural luster.
Yes, they are designed for everyday dining. While they offer a sophisticated bistro aesthetic, their durable construction and sharp, plain edge make them practical for regular meal prep and table service.
