Know before you buy
The 3-inch flat cut paring knife is ideal for intricate work like peeling, trimming, or deveining, while the 5-inch hollow edge Santoku is a versatile tool for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables and proteins.
The double bolster design provides the knife with professional-style heft and exceptional balance, making it feel stable and secure in your hand during repetitive cutting tasks.
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the forged steel and the handle material, we recommend hand-washing them with warm water and mild soap, then drying them immediately.
POM is a high-density synthetic material that is exceptionally durable and resistant to fading or discoloration. Its tight molecular structure ensures the handle remains comfortable and hygienic over years of regular use.
The hollow edge features small indentations along the blade, which create air pockets between the steel and the food. This helps prevent thin slices from sticking to the blade, allowing for faster and more efficient chopping.
