Crafted by hand, these knives are made from X50CrMoV15 German Steel, known for its durability, stain resistance, and edge retention. The blades undergo an extensive six-stage heat treatment process to maintain their strength and function, and are sharpened to a 16-degree angle on each side. The set includes a 5" santoku knife and a 3.5" serrated paring knife, both of which come with fitted plastic sheaths for protection. The knives, in a stylish French Teal color, cover all your food prep needs in the kitchen, from mincing to chopping vegetables. Certified by NSF International and backed by a lifetime warranty, these knives should be washed with warm water and a mild detergent, then carefully rinsed and dried with a towel.
