HexClad Hybrid Cookware Damascus Knife Set

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the Damascus steel and the pakkawood handles, you should always hand-wash and dry them immediately after use.

The 67 layers of steel provide a balance of hardness and flexibility. This allows the blade to hold a razor-sharp edge for longer periods while resisting the brittleness often found in extremely hard, single-layer steel knives.

You should use the honing rod regularly—ideally before or after every major cooking session. Honing realigns the microscopic edge of the blade, which keeps the knife cutting smoothly between professional sharpenings.

Full-tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides better balance, superior durability, and a more stable feel in your hand while you are chopping or slicing.

Thanks to the 3-step Honbazuke method, these knives arrive with a precise 12-degree cutting edge. This is significantly sharper than standard Western-style knives, which typically feature a wider, less acute angle.

The handles are crafted with anti-shrinking technology specifically designed to withstand the rigors of a kitchen environment. While they are durable, avoiding prolonged submersion in water will help them maintain their fit and finish for years.
