Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon steel and the handle rivets, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.
The full tang means the steel extends through the entire length of the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels secure and substantial in your hand while cutting.
These knives feature a plain edge. A plain edge is ideal for clean, precise cuts through meat without tearing the fibers, allowing you to slice through steaks effortlessly.
Each knife in this set features a 4 1/2-inch blade. This length is specifically designed to provide optimal control and leverage for dining tasks.
Yes, their sharp, plain-edge design makes them versatile enough for other dining tasks, such as slicing through roasted vegetables or crusty breads, while remaining elegant enough for formal table settings.
