Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon steel blades and the ABS polymer handles, we recommend hand-washing them with warm water and mild detergent, then drying them immediately.
Full-tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, durability, and stability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during heavy-duty cutting tasks.
The NSF certification confirms that these knives meet rigorous standards for public health and safety. It ensures the materials used are food-safe and that the construction is designed to prevent the accumulation of bacteria, making them a professional-grade choice for your kitchen.
The set includes a sharpener to help you maintain the edge of your knives. Because these blades are crafted from high-carbon German steel, regular honing will keep them performing at their best, though you may eventually need professional sharpening depending on your frequency of use.
Yes, the dimensions provided (17.6 x 16.8 x 7.9 inches) refer to the entire set including the acacia wood storage block. It is designed for countertop use and features a vertical orientation to save space while keeping your knives organized.
The handles are made from high-quality, food-grade ABS polymer, which is chosen for its durability and resistance to moisture. While they are designed to be long-lasting, it is best to avoid leaving them submerged in water or exposed to harsh chemicals to keep the glacial white finish looking pristine.
