8-Piece VG10 Kitchen Knife Set, Black Coated, Pakka Wood Handles

An 8-piece kitchen knife set with full tang VG10 stainless steel blades in a black powder-coated finish and two-tone yellow and gray pakka wood handles. Overall lengths run from 9 to 13 inches, and you can order it with or without a leather roll.

The maker builds it for slicing, chopping, carving, and precision cuts, which covers the daily work of a home kitchen, from breaking down vegetables to carving a roast. Full tang means the steel runs the whole length of the handle rather than stopping partway in.

Care

Hand wash only and dry each knife right away, as the maker specifies, then store the knives in the leather roll, if you chose it, so the edges don't knock against each other. When the edges start to drag, How to Sharpen a Kitchen Knife walks you through honing and sharpening at home.

Questions

What steel are the blades? VG10, a stainless steel. The maker lists every blade as full tang VG10 with a black powder-coated finish.

Does the set come with a case? It's sold two ways. Choose With Leather Roll to get the set in its leather roll, or Without Leather Roll for the knives alone.

Can these knives go in the dishwasher? No. The maker says hand wash only, then dry immediately.

Will my set look exactly like the photo? Close, but not identical. The sets are handmade, so wood grain and color tones vary slightly from one set to the next.
