Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon steel blades and the handle rivets, you should hand wash and dry them immediately after each use.
The set includes a 3 1/2" paring knife, a 5" utility knife, a 6" flexible boning knife, an 8" wavy edge bread knife, and an 8" chef's knife, housed in a stainless steel and glass block.
The rounded spine is designed to provide extra comfort, especially during tasks that require a 'pinch grip' where your fingers rest against the back of the blade. It reduces pressure on your hand during extended prep sessions.
Precision-forging creates a denser, more durable blade compared to stamped knives. This process results in a stronger edge that holds its sharpness longer and provides better balance and weight distribution while cutting.
Yes, the block is constructed from stainless steel and tempered glass, which are non-porous materials. You can easily wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth to keep the display looking pristine.
