Know before you buy
The half bolster design allows you to use the entire length of the blade from heel to tip. It also makes the knife easier to sharpen, as there is no metal obstruction at the heel to interfere with your sharpening stone.
While the manufacturer lists this set as dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to maintain the sharpness and integrity of the blade edge over time. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the edge and potentially damage the handle material.
The Friodur ice-hardening process improves the molecular structure of the steel, resulting in a blade that is exceptionally corrosion-resistant and retains its sharpness longer. It provides a balance of hardness and flexibility, making the knife less prone to chipping.
A 15-degree angle on each side creates a very fine, sharp edge that glides through meats with minimal resistance. This precision allows for cleaner, thinner slices compared to knives with a wider, more standard edge angle.
The ergonomic POM handle is designed for a secure, balanced grip that accommodates most hand sizes. The curved bolster specifically encourages a proper pinch grip, which provides better control and comfort regardless of your hand size.
The full tang provides excellent balance and stability, but because the knife is forged from a single piece of steel with a half bolster, it feels nimble rather than heavy. It is designed to feel like an extension of your hand, reducing fatigue during extended carving sessions.
