Schmidt Brothers Zebra Steak Knives

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. The West African zebra wood handles require hand washing and immediate drying to prevent the wood from warping or cracking over time.

The patented curve is designed as a natural resting place for your forefinger. This placement improves your leverage and control while cutting, making it easier to slice through tougher cuts of meat.

Yes, these knives feature a full-tang construction, meaning the steel extends through the entire length of the handle. This design provides superior balance, durability, and stability compared to partial-tang knives.

To keep the wood looking its best, avoid soaking the knives in water. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil to the handles will help nourish the wood and maintain its natural luster.

These knives come hand-sharpened to an 18-degree edge with fine serrations right out of the box. Because of the serrated edge, they will retain their sharpness for a long time, though they are more difficult to sharpen at home than straight-edge blades.
