Viking Cutlery Set

This set is crafted from X50CrMoV15 German steel. This specific alloy is widely regarded for its excellent balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening, making it a reliable choice for daily kitchen use.

While the manufacturer states they are dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend handwashing. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blades and degrade the handle material over time.

Full-tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, weight, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during heavy-duty tasks.

Yes, the 17-piece set includes a sharpening steel. Using this regularly will help maintain the edge of your blades between professional sharpenings.

The set weighs 14.4 lbs, so the block is substantial and designed to be a permanent fixture on your counter. Ensure you have enough clearance beneath your upper cabinets to easily pull the knives out of the block.

The set comes with a limited lifetime warranty. This generally covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use, but it does not cover damage caused by misuse or normal wear and tear.
