Schmidt Brothers Cutlery Knife Block

The patented Schmidt Brothers Curve is a unique indentation at the base of the blade where the handle meets the steel. This design allows your forefinger to rest comfortably and securely, providing better leverage and control while you chop or slice.

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the high-carbon German stainless steel blades and the natural teak wood handles, you should always hand wash and dry them immediately after use.

Because teak is a natural wood, it can dry out over time. We recommend occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil to the handles to keep the wood hydrated, prevent cracking, and maintain its rich appearance.

Yes, the set includes a magnetic knife block. It uses powerful magnets embedded within the wood to securely hold the knives in place, allowing for easy access and a clean, modern display on your countertop.

Full-tang construction means the steel from the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, durability, and stability, ensuring the knife feels solid and responsive in your hand during heavy-duty cutting tasks.

These knives are forged from high-quality German DIN 1.4116 steel with an 18-degree edge angle per side. They arrive very sharp and are designed to hold their edge well, though regular honing is recommended to maintain that precision over time.
