About this item ONE OF OPRAH'S FAVORITE THINGS: Handpicked for its impeccable quality, thoughtful design, and everyday functionality, this knife trio earned a coveted spot on the list in 2021. It's a must-have for home chefs who appreciate craftsmanship and style. PREMIUM JAPANESE STEEL: Three layers of Japanese stainless steel combine with high carbon for unmatched strength and easy-to-care-for resilience. At finishing, each knife is heat-treated at 300°F before it's cryogenically tempered at -250°F, altering the structure of the steel on a molecular level, making it harder, sharper, and more durable. RAZOR-SHARP PRECISION: Inspired by narrow-tipped Japanese knives, we engineered a 13-degree edge after testing various angles, ensuring lasting sharpness and precision with every cut. PERFECTLY BALANCED DESIGN: Full-tang construction for superior durability and weight distribution, reducing hand fatigue and cramping. The even balance at the bolster offers a "just right" feel in your hand for comfortable, precise chopping, slicing and dicing. COMFORTABLE, SECURE GRIP: Drawing from the classic oval shape of Japanese handles, we refined it with a stain-resistant, matte composite. The result is a firm, slightly grippy surface that provides confident, safe handling during use. › See more product details
