Know before you buy
The curved bolster is designed to support a professional pinch grip, which improves safety and precision while reducing hand fatigue during extended cutting tasks.
Yes. The Chef's knife features a broad, curved front ideal for Western rocking motions and a straight back that is perfectly suited for Asian-style chopping.
While the knives are technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing them. This helps preserve the sharpness of the edge and the integrity of the handle materials over time.
FRIODUR ice-hardening is a specialized process that improves the molecular structure of the steel. This results in a blade that starts sharper, maintains its edge longer, and offers superior corrosion resistance.
Yes, the set includes a high-quality TWIN sharpening steel. Regular use of this steel will help keep your blades honed and performing at their best between professional sharpenings.
The natural hardwood block features 16 slots. Since this is a 10-piece set, you have six additional slots available if you choose to expand your collection with individual knives in the future.
