Barebones Living Culinary Knives

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the resin-infused Pakkawood handles and the sharpness of the stainless steel blade, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.

Full-tang construction means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, durability, and leverage, making the knife less likely to snap or loosen during heavy-duty outdoor food prep.

The leather sleeve is designed to protect the blade during transport. To keep it in good condition, avoid getting it wet, and occasionally apply a leather conditioner to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.

No, these are culinary tools designed specifically for food preparation. Using them for tasks like chopping wood or batoning will damage the edge and potentially compromise the handle construction.

The notches are designed to give you a more secure grip, allowing for better control when performing precision tasks like mincing herbs or slicing vegetables. This added stability is particularly helpful when you are working on uneven surfaces at a campsite.
