Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the sharpness of the high-carbon steel and the integrity of the handles, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.
The set includes a 3.5-inch paring knife, a 4.5-inch utility knife, a 6-inch cook's knife, and a pair of kitchen shears, all housed in a compact storage block.
Yes, the 6-inch cook's knife is an excellent multipurpose tool. While professional chefs often prefer an 8-inch blade, the 6-inch version is highly maneuverable and perfect for smaller hands or kitchens with limited counter space.
Precision forging means each knife is crafted from a single piece of high-carbon steel. This process creates a stronger, more durable blade that holds its edge significantly longer than stamped alternatives.
To keep your knives performing at their best, use a honing steel regularly to realign the edge. For long-term maintenance, have them professionally sharpened or use a high-quality sharpening stone once or twice a year.
