Know before you buy
This starter set includes a chef's knife for general chopping, a utility knife for versatile slicing, and a paring knife for detailed work like peeling or trimming.
The ice-hardening process improves the molecular structure of the steel, which helps the blades resist corrosion and maintain their sharpness significantly longer than standard stainless steel.
These knives are precision-stamped from a single piece of steel, making them lighter and more agile than traditional forged knives. They are an excellent choice if you prefer a tool that is easy to maneuver during long prep sessions.
While the materials are durable, we recommend hand-washing these knives to protect the edge and prevent the handle rivets from loosening over time.
Yes, the ergonomic, three-rivet polymer handle is designed to be lightweight and balanced, making it comfortable and secure for a wide variety of hand sizes.
