Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the mirror polish and the integrity of the embossed details, we recommend hand washing them with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Each knife in the set measures 7 inches in length, which is the standard size for a dessert or fruit knife.
The relief is subtle and understated, appearing as a delicate pattern on the handle. It is designed to be discovered upon closer inspection rather than being a bold, eye-catching feature.
The set is crafted from 18/10 stainless steel, with the blade specifically made from AISI 420 steel. This combination ensures the knife maintains a durable, sharp edge while retaining a high-quality, polished finish.
Yes, these knives are part of the cohesive Dressed collection designed by Marcel Wanders. They are intended to complement other flatware and serving pieces within the same line, sharing the same signature embossed aesthetic.
