KitchenAid’s premium forged knives are expertly handcrafted using 67 layers of high-carbon AUS-10 Japanese Damascus steel. They are hardened and tempered to provide long lasting edge retention for a professional, quality cut every time. The triple-riveted handle construction is expertly engineered in a custom blonde pakka wood to optimize control for everyday use and accommodate a wide variety of hand sizes and grips. The monolithic ashwood block harmonizes with architectural lines of kitchen cabinetry and countertops while providing an elegant, modern home for the knives.
