Crafted by hand, these knives are made from X50CrMoV15 German Steel, known for its durability, stain resistance, and exceptional edge retention. The steel is heat treated in six stages to ensure strength and function, and each blade is hand sharpened to a 16-degree angle. The set includes a chef's knife, Santoku knife, bread knife, serrated utility knife, and paring knife. The knives can be stored in a block made from eco-friendly moso timber bamboo, which is a renewable resource. The set is NSF International Certified and comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
