Because the handles are crafted from acrylic, the faux tortoise pattern may feature slight variations in color and marbling, making each piece unique while maintaining a cohesive look.
Yes, they are dishwasher safe, provided you keep the water temperature at or below 113°F (45°C). To preserve the glossy finish of the acrylic handle over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh detergents.
The knife measures 9 ¼ inches and is designed with a balanced weight distribution between the 18/10 stainless steel blade and the acrylic handle, offering a comfortable, ergonomic grip for everyday dining.
