Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the ceramic coating and the sharpness of the blades, we recommend hand washing them with warm, soapy water and drying them immediately.
The color-coded blades are designed to help you easily distinguish between different types of food—such as raw meat, produce, and bread—which helps prevent cross-contamination during meal prep.
Yes, each knife in this 12-piece set includes a matching blade guard. These guards are essential for keeping the blades sharp and protecting your fingers when reaching into a drawer.
The nonstick ceramic coating allows the blades to glide through food more smoothly, preventing ingredients like cheese or potatoes from sticking to the knife. This makes slicing cleaner and more efficient.
These knives feature stamped construction. While they are lightweight and easy to handle, they still offer durability thanks to the full-tang design, which provides better balance and stability during use.
Beyond hand washing, you should avoid using these knives on glass or stone cutting boards, as these hard surfaces can dull the edges quickly. Stick to wood or plastic cutting boards to keep the blades in top condition.
