Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the Pakkawood handle and the sharpness of the blade, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.
Unlike serrated blades that can tear meat fibers, these plain-edge knives slice cleanly through steak. This precision helps keep the natural juices inside the meat rather than on your plate.
Pakkawood is a premium, resin-infused hardwood that is highly durable and moisture-resistant. It provides a comfortable, secure grip that feels natural in the hand during use.
The high-carbon stainless steel holds a sharp edge well, but like any high-quality Japanese blade, it will eventually require maintenance. Using a honing steel or a whetstone periodically will keep them performing at their best.
Yes, the high-carbon stainless steel construction is rust-resistant. However, because they are high-performance blades, it is best practice to hand wash and dry them promptly to prevent any potential spotting or corrosion.
