Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the natural wood handle and keep the blade sharp, you should always hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately.
Because the handle is made from natural wood, it is recommended to occasionally treat it with a food-safe mineral oil. This prevents the wood from drying out or cracking over time.
This 8-inch chef's knife is designed for precision slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables or meats. It is not intended for cutting through bone or frozen foods, which could damage the fine edge of the blade.
The rosewood handle provides a warm, organic feel that is generally lighter than some heavy-duty synthetic handles. The knife is specifically engineered for exceptional balance, making it feel agile and comfortable during extended prep sessions.
The plain, straight edge can be maintained using standard sharpening stones or a high-quality honing steel. Because it is a high-quality stainless steel, it holds an edge well but will benefit from regular honing to keep it performing at its best.
