Materials
One such material of the blade that ensures the finest quality and longest durability is the stainless steel. And the brand has used this material to make the blade solid and well built. Not just that, you will also marvel at the way it has been engineered to resist corrosion, which we give a big thumbs up. So, you will not only love the chic and sharp look of the blade, but praise the quality of the material as well.
Meanwhile, its handle has been made with wood to supposedly give you the same benefit. There are people who were not satisfied with the quality of the wood, but the handle does its job the way it’s expected. So, we think it’s okay to forgive this minor drawback.
Another little issue it has is with the claims of it being dishwasher safe. Albeit the brand has recommended it to clean using dishwasher, however people have suggested going with handwashing for staying on the safe side.
Design:
Firstly, this is a serrated knife. Some of you may find it strange to have a serrated knife that has been designed for steak. Because traditionally, steak knives are expected to be non-serrated. But surprisingly it does a great job, even being designed this way.
The blade is sharp, and the biggest plus is that you won’t need to sharpen it any time soon. That’s the benefit you can enjoy for having a serrated knife. So, durability is guaranteed yet again.
As for the handles, they come in triple rivet style and in black color. The knife overall looks classy and elegant apart from offering durability.
However, some users complained that the tips of the knife tend to bend easily after several uses. So, this can be another minor drawback for you.
That said, you will be getting a set of 8 knives, so you can call it a clever compensation.
