Set of Six Wenge Wood Knives

Set of Six Wenge Wood Paring Knives in Wooden Box

Culinary Use and Gastronomic Tradition

These small knives boast a straight blade, which is highly valued in the culinary world for specific tasks. They are excellent not only for private households but also hold an irreplaceable position in professional gastronomy, where they are used, for example, for the popular shaping of turned potatoes (pommes de terre tournées). The compact dimensions ensure perfect manoeuvrability, so you can handle even the most intricate carving with absolute ease and confidence.

Materials and Proper Care

The blades are carefully crafted from high-quality 440 stainless steel, guaranteeing long-lasting sharpness and excellent corrosion resistance. The handle scales are made of dark, exotic wenge wood and are firmly secured to the tang with rivets. Because this is genuine natural wood, the knives absolutely do not belong in the dishwasher. Aggressive detergents and hot water would irreversibly damage the wooden handles. After every use, wash the knife by hand with warm water and a little mild dish soap, and dry it immediately. We recommend occasionally treating the wooden scales with a food-safe oil (such as linseed or mineral oil) to help them retain their beautiful appearance and prevent them from drying out.

Safety Warnings

Even though these knives are small, they possess a very sharp blade. When handling and cutting towards your thumb (which is common when peeling), exercise heightened caution to avoid unpleasant injuries. Always store the knives back in their wooden box or in a safe place completely out of the reach of children.

Technical Specifications

We highly recommend purchasing a quality wooden cutting board and a fine knife sharpener alongside this set, ensuring your blades always remain in pristine cutting condition.
