No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. The natural olive wood handles can crack or warp if exposed to the high heat and moisture of a dishwasher, so we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.

This set covers your essential prep work: the bird's beak knife is perfect for peeling and shaping produce, the vegetable knife handles general chopping, the office knife is your go-to for small precision tasks, and the serrated slicing knife is ideal for cutting through crusty bread or soft-skinned fruits like tomatoes.

To keep the olive wood looking its best and prevent it from drying out, occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood wax to the handles. Avoid soaking them in water, as this can cause the wood to swell or lose its luster over time.

No, these knives feature a stamped construction rather than a full tang. This makes them lightweight and nimble in the hand, which is ideal for the smaller, precision-focused tasks these blades are designed to perform.

These knives are authentically manufactured in Thiers, France, a region with a centuries-old reputation for high-quality cutlery production.
