"Replaced a drawer of mismatched knives with this one block. The whole counter looks intentional now, and the chef knife glides through everything. The steak knives were the surprise — guests noticed."

Description
A full-size chef knife feels clumsy when you are trimming herbs, segmenting citrus, or working on a small board.
This compact knife gives you about 5" (13 cm) of edge in German 1.4116 molybdenum vanadium stainless steel, at roughly 3.2 oz (91 g). That light weight keeps fine work controlled rather than heavy-handed.
The red sandalwood handle keeps the balance forward without making the knife feel weighty. It earns its place beside a larger chef knife for the small jobs that come up every day. Hand-wash and dry it right away, and hone it regularly.
What's in the box
- 1 × German steel chef knife
Care & Use
Hand-wash and dry right away. Hone regularly and oil the wood handle when it looks dry. Store it in a block or on a magnetic strip.

"Three months of daily cooking and the edges still hold. The block sharpening is genuinely useful — I stopped reaching for a separate steel. Balanced, clean release, and it looks the part in white."
"Beautiful set and the grip stays comfortable through long prep. The knives go straight into the dishwasher, and the block keeps every piece in order. The matched steak knives finish the set well."

Good to know
Questions, answered.
How does the self-sharpening block work?
The block has ceramic honing slots. As you draw a knife out or return it, the edge passes across the sharpener — maintaining day-to-day sharpness. For a full re-grind, use a whetstone a few times a year.
Are the knives dishwasher safe?
Yes. The knives and shears are dishwasher-safe. Secure them on the top rack and dry them fully before storage. Wipe the self-sharpening block clean and keep it out of the dishwasher.
What's the difference between Black and White?
Only the finish. Both are the same 16-piece high-carbon German steel set with the same block and board — choose the one that matches your counter.
When will it arrive?
Orders ship within 24 hours with tracked delivery, and the tracking code lands in your inbox. Delivery windows are calculated for your address at checkout.
How do returns work?
Open a return from your account within 30 days and a prepaid label is emailed to you. Refunds are issued within 3 business days of the set reaching our warehouse.
