Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel and the handle material, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately after use.
The hollow edge features small indentations along the blade, which create tiny air pockets between the steel and the food. This helps reduce friction and prevents meat from sticking to the blade, allowing for cleaner, more efficient slices.
Because these knives do not come with a storage case, it is best to store them in a wooden knife block, on a magnetic wall strip, or in a dedicated drawer organizer. Storing them loose in a drawer can dull the blades and pose a safety risk.
Full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand while cutting.
While made from high-quality high-carbon stainless steel, these knives are not rust-proof. To prevent corrosion or spotting, avoid leaving them wet or soaking in the sink and ensure they are thoroughly dried before storage.
