Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating and the sharpness of the blades, we strongly recommend hand-washing and drying them immediately after use.
The color-coding is a safety feature designed to help you prevent cross-contamination. By assigning specific colors to different food groups—such as using one color for raw meat and another for produce—you can easily keep your prep work organized and hygienic.
Yes, each knife comes with a matching blade guard designed to snap securely onto the blade. This ensures the edges stay protected while stored in a drawer and prevents accidental cuts when you reach for a tool.
The set includes six knives—an 8-inch Chef Knife, 8-inch Slicing Knife, 8-inch Serrated Bread Knife, 7-inch Santoku Knife, 6.5-inch Utility Knife, and a 3.5-inch Paring Knife—along with six corresponding blade guards.
The blades are crafted from high-quality German stainless steel with a durable nonstick finish. While the coating is designed for effortless slicing and easy cleanup, it is best to avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool, which can scratch or wear down the finish over time.
