Know before you buy
The titanium coating provides a non-reflective, sleek aesthetic while adding an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear. It also helps reduce friction, allowing the blade to glide through ingredients more smoothly.
9CR18MOV is a high-carbon steel known for its excellent balance of hardness and toughness. It holds a sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel, meaning you will spend less time sharpening and more time prepping.
Yes, the resin and wood composite is designed to be moisture-resistant and highly durable. It offers the natural, warm feel of wood with the added structural stability and longevity of industrial-grade resin.
An 8-inch paring knife is unusually long, functioning more like a slim, agile utility or petty knife. It is ideal for tasks that require more reach than a traditional 3-inch paring knife, such as slicing larger fruits or trimming proteins.
The set includes a protective leather sheath for each knife, which is the recommended storage method to prevent the blade coating from scratching. Avoid storing them loose in a drawer with other metal utensils to maintain the integrity of the Ravenstone finish.
