Know before you buy
Because these knives are hand-sharpened to a 16-degree angle, you should use a honing steel regularly to maintain the edge. For long-term maintenance, we recommend professional sharpening or a high-quality manual sharpener once the blade dulls.
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. The high heat and harsh detergents in dishwashers can damage the wood handles and dull the precision-forged steel blades, so hand washing and immediate drying are required.
A full tang means the steel of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and stable in your hand during heavy-duty cutting tasks.
This specific alloy is highly regarded for its balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. With a Rockwell hardness of 58, the steel is hard enough to hold a sharp edge through daily prep work while remaining easy enough to hone at home.
The set includes a curated selection of essential kitchen knives designed to handle most culinary tasks, along with a stylish acacia wood block for safe and organized storage.
The NSF certification indicates that these knives meet rigorous standards for public health protection, specifically regarding material safety, design, and cleanability. It confirms that the construction is hygienic and professional-grade.
