Barebones Culinary Knives

These knives are crafted from 50CrMoV15 stainless steel. This alloy is chosen for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening.

No, these knives should be hand-washed only. While the resin-infused Pakkawood is moisture-resistant, the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can damage the wood and dull the blade edge.

The Nakiri knife features a straight, rectangular blade designed specifically for chopping vegetables with a vertical motion, rather than the rocking motion used with a curved Chef's knife. It is an excellent tool for precise, clean cuts on produce.

The full-grain cow leather sleeves are durable and designed to develop a rich patina over time. You can occasionally treat them with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and protected.

Full-tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and stability, ensuring the handle is less likely to snap or loosen over years of heavy use.

The 14-inch bread knife features a serrated edge. This design is essential for gripping the crust of baked goods and slicing through them without crushing the soft interior.
