Know before you buy
This set features a hybrid design with both plain and serrated edges, providing the versatility needed to slice through tough crusts while maintaining clean cuts on tender meats.
Pakkawood is a composite material that offers the aesthetic of natural wood with significantly higher durability. It is moisture-resistant and provides a stable, ergonomic grip that won't warp or crack over time.
To preserve the integrity of the high-carbon German steel and the Pakkawood handles, these knives should be hand-washed with mild soap and dried immediately. Avoid the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle material and dull the blade.
High-carbon steel is known for its edge retention, but it will eventually require maintenance. You can maintain the sharpness using a honing steel regularly, or a professional sharpening service when the blade eventually loses its factory edge.
Yes, the knives are designed with a focus on ergonomics. The weight distribution between the forged steel blade and the handle is balanced to ensure comfort and control during extended use at the dinner table.
