Ours knives have three layers of Japanese stainless steel and high carbon for unmatched strength and easy-to-care-for resilience. At finishing, each knife is heat-treated at 300F before it's cryogenically tempered at -250F, altering the structure of the steel on a molecular level, making it harder, sharper, and more durable.
Our blade is a full tang: it extends into the handle so it won't break under pressure and weight is better distributed. The result? An even balance at the bolster for that “feels just right in your hand” sensation.
We integrated the classic oval shape of Japanese handles into our design but used an innovative, stain-resistant composite in a matte finish to make ours firm and slightly grippy, for safe and confident chopping.
Smart storage is also key to a long knife life, which is why we designed The Stand to preserve and show off our knives. The hidden magnet means that you won’t dull your blades by sliding your knives into the slits in those clunky traditional knife blocks. It’s also much easier to clean.
Magnetized walls on both sides of The Stand allow storage of up to eight knives of varying sizes. It is heavy enough to be sturdy, keeping your knives stowed safely, and is made exclusively with FSC-certified wood.
These are awesome knives. I did my research and concluded that these knives were the ones that I was looking for, and I was right. These three knives are all that you need in the kitchen. Thank you, Material.
Love this- frees up counter space and looks great!
Very nice. I am considering one to my grandson in San Francisco. Price is a concern though.
I started out with beautiful steak knifes (very sharp!) which has led me to keep adding to our Material Collection. Why? Because they are that good! These Knives & Stand are no exception. Beauty & function combined. We now have the knife sharpener, peeler, tongs (fun!) & shears. Hope to add the Resting Stones next.
The best knives I've ever used in the kitchen. They are worth the cost.
