Know before you buy
The set includes four essential knives: a Chef’s knife, a Scalloped Offset knife, a Utility knife, and a Paring knife. The fifth slot in the magnetic block is left open for you to add a knife of your choice.
Yes, the Messermeister Custom series features a modular design that allows you to swap out the handles. This lets you personalize the aesthetic of your set to match your kitchen decor.
These knives are crafted from X50 German stainless steel with a 15-degree edge angle. To maintain their sharpness, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately, as they are not dishwasher safe.
Yes, the Acacia magnetic block is designed to securely hold your knives while protecting the edges. Because the knives are held by magnets rather than sliding into narrow slots, there is less risk of dulling the blades during storage.
The ceramic stonewash finish provides a smooth, non-stick surface that helps food release easily from the blade while cutting. It also adds a matte, modern look that hides minor scratches better than a polished finish.
These knives have a 58 Rockwell hardness rating, which strikes an ideal balance between edge retention and durability. This hardness ensures the blades stay sharp through heavy use without being so brittle that they are prone to chipping.
