Know before you buy
The set includes an 8-inch Chef's knife, an 8.5-inch bread knife, a 5.5-inch vegetable knife, a 4.25-inch utility knife, and a 3-inch paring knife. It also comes with an 8.5-inch ceramic sharpening rod and a wooden storage block.
The signature dimple pattern is designed to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip. This texture ensures the knife remains stable in your hand, even when your fingers are wet or oily during food prep.
The hollow handles are filled with a precise amount of sand to achieve perfect weight distribution. This creates a balanced feel that reduces wrist fatigue and provides better control compared to knives with uneven weight.
While the stainless steel construction is durable, it is highly recommended to hand wash and dry these knives immediately after use. Harsh dishwasher detergents and high heat can dull the blades and potentially damage the finish over time.
The ceramic rod is intended for regular maintenance to realign the blade's edge. Using it lightly before or after each major cooking session will help keep your knives performing at their best between professional sharpenings.
Yes, the wooden block provides a safe, organized storage solution that prevents the blades from knocking against other utensils. Storing them in the block helps maintain the sharpness of the edges and keeps your workspace clutter-free.
