Know before you buy
Yes, the blade is specifically designed for dual-purpose use. Its geometry works exceptionally well for slicing through the delicate skins of tomatoes as well as crusty loaves of bread.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the handle materials and the sharpness of the blade, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.
A half-silk blade refers to the construction where the tang extends partially into the handle. Combined with the heat-treated stainless steel, this design provides a balanced, precise cutting experience that holds its edge well over time.
The choice depends on your preference for maintenance and aesthetic. The wood handles offer a classic, natural feel that develops character over time, while the plastic options provide a vibrant, low-maintenance finish that is highly durable.
No, this knife does not include a storage case or block. Because it is a high-quality handcrafted tool, we recommend storing it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the blade edge.
