Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the color coating and the sharpness of the blades, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately after use.
The vibrant color coding allows you to quickly identify the right knife for specific tasks, such as using a specific color for produce and another for proteins. This system helps prevent cross-contamination while keeping your kitchen workspace organized.
These knives feature a hand-sharpened 16-degree double-bevel edge. To maintain their precision, use a manual sharpener designed for coated blades or a honing steel, being careful not to damage the color finish.
Yes, the open design of the acrylic block is easy to wipe down. Because it is transparent and features an open structure, it promotes better air circulation, which helps keep your knives clean and dry between uses.
While the blades are made from carbon stainless steel, they are not specifically treated to be rust or stain-resistant. It is important to hand wash and thoroughly dry the knives after every use to prevent potential corrosion.
The set includes eight essential knives covering a variety of kitchen tasks, ranging from a chef's knife and bread knife to smaller utility and paring knives, plus the clear acrylic storage block.
