FAQs
What type of steel is used for the blades?
The blades are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, chosen for its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.
How do I maintain the sharpness of my knives?
Regularly hone your knives with a sharpening steel. For best results, have them professionally sharpened periodically. Always wash and dry them by hand.
Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?
No, we strongly recommend hand washing only. Dishwashers can dull the blades, damage the handles, and cause corrosion.
What is the purpose of the stone ground finish?
The stone ground finish creates a very sharp and precise cutting edge, allowing for clean, efficient cuts through various food items.
What knives are included in the 7-piece set?
The set typically includes a 5" serrated knife, a 9" bread knife, a carving fork, a 10" carving knife, an 8" cooks knife, a 5" utility knife, and a 3.5" paring knife, along with a wooden block.
Are the handles comfortable for long use?
Yes, the knives feature ergonomic handles designed to provide a comfortable grip and reduce hand fatigue during extended kitchen tasks.
How should I store the knives?
The set comes with a wooden block, which is the recommended storage solution. This keeps the blades protected and safely organized.
Troubleshooting
Knife feels dull
Ensure the knife has been sharpened recently using a sharpening steel or a professional sharpening service. Clean any food residue that might be affecting the edge.
Food sticks to the blade
Ensure the blade is clean and dry. For very sticky foods, try slicing with a slightly wetted blade or ensuring you are using the correct technique for the food item.
Handle feels loose
If the handle appears loose, discontinue use and contact customer support. Do not attempt to tighten it yourself as this may cause damage.
Rust spots appear on blade
This can occur if the knife is left wet or exposed to corrosive substances. Gently scrub the rust spot with a non-abrasive cleaner like baking soda paste and rinse/dry immediately. Ensure thorough drying after each wash.
