Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the blades and the handles, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately.
Full-tang construction means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior strength, better balance, and increased durability compared to knives where the blade is only partially inserted into the handle.
Yes, the 15-piece set includes a blade sharpener. This allows you to maintain the edge of your forged blades at home, ensuring they remain sharp and effective for your daily culinary tasks.
The counterweights are integrated into the handles to provide optimal balance. This helps reduce wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks and gives you more control and precision while chopping or slicing.
The knives are crafted from high-quality stainless steel with triple-riveted handles. The included storage block is made from durable rubberwood, providing a stable and attractive home for your cutlery.
