Know before you buy
No, these knives should be hand-washed only. The natural rosewood handles can warp or crack if exposed to the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher.
The 2.5mm blade thickness provides extra rigidity and weight, allowing for a clean, effortless slice through steak without the blade flexing. Their full-tang construction ensures they remain sturdy and durable during heavy use.
These knives feature a straight edge. This design is preferred by connoisseurs because it slices through meat fibers cleanly rather than tearing them, which helps retain the juices and flavor of your steak.
A full tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and longevity compared to knives where the blade is only partially inserted into the handle.
Yes, the handles are ergonomically curved to provide a natural, secure grip. The weight is balanced specifically for dining, making them comfortable to hold for extended periods during a meal.
