Know before you buy
These knives feature a straight edge. This design allows for cleaner, more precise cuts through meat fibers rather than tearing them, which is common with serrated blades.
POM (polyoxymethylene) is a high-density plastic chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to heat, moisture, and kitchen chemicals. It ensures the handle remains hygienic and won't warp or degrade over time.
While the materials are durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing these knives. Dishwashers can cause premature dulling of the blade and potential damage to the handle rivets over time.
Because these are forged, high-carbon stainless steel blades, they respond well to regular honing with a sharpening steel. This will keep the edge aligned and sharp for everyday use.
This set is forged and crafted in Solingen, Germany, a city world-renowned for its long history of high-quality cutlery production.
No, this set does not include a storage block or case. They are designed to be stored in a knife block or a drawer organizer to protect the edges.
