FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does "ice-hardened" mean for these knives?
The blades undergo a specialized thermal process involving extreme cold, which refines the steel's molecular structure for enhanced durability, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

Are these knives suitable for cutting through bone?
While exceptionally sharp, they are designed for culinary preparation. We do not recommend using them on hard bones, which could chip the fine edge. They are perfect for boneless meats, vegetables, and fruits.

How does the Rockwell hardness of 53 compare to other knives?
A rating of 53 HRC indicates a excellent balance between hardness (for edge retention) and toughness (to resist chipping), making these superior to many entry-level knives that are often softer.

Do the knives come sharp and ready to use?
Yes, thanks to the twice-sharpened manufacturing process, the knives arrive with a factory-sharp edge that is ready to use immediately for precise cutting.

What is the advantage of having two Santoku knives in the set?
The two different sizes (6.5" and 5") offer versatility. The larger is ideal for general vegetable chopping, while the smaller is perfect for more detailed work or for users with smaller hands.

Is the knife block included, and how is it constructed?
Yes, a sturdy knife block is included to safely store and organize all six knives, helping to protect the blades and keep your countertop organized.

Can these knives be washed in the dishwasher?
We highly recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately to preserve the razor-sharp edge and long-term integrity of the blades.
