Know before you buy
Fully forged means each blade is crafted from a single piece of steel, which provides superior strength, weight, and balance compared to stamped blades. This construction, combined with the full bolster, ensures the knife is robust enough to handle heavy-duty kitchen tasks for years.
No, these knives should be hand-washed only. Dishwasher detergents and high heat can dull the blades and damage the integrity of the triple-riveted ABS handles over time.
Because these blades are heat-hardened and feature a precise 15-degree edge, they offer excellent edge retention. However, using the included sharpening steel regularly will help maintain that factory-sharp edge between professional sharpenings.
This set is designed for versatility and includes a mix of straight, serrated, and Granton edges. This allows you to handle everything from delicate slicing and precision mincing to sawing through crusty breads.
The triple-riveted design secures the handle scales firmly to the full tang of the blade. This provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip that feels stable and secure in your hand, even during repetitive chopping tasks.
Yes, this Viking cutlery set is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use.
