HexClad Master Series Steak Knife

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the Damascus steel blade and the faux ebony handle, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately after use.

A Rockwell hardness of 60 indicates that the steel is quite hard, which allows the blade to hold a razor-sharp edge for a significantly longer time than standard kitchen knives. While this makes them excellent for precision cutting, it also means the steel is less flexible, so you should avoid using them on hard surfaces like glass or stone cutting boards.

The full hybrid tang construction means the metal extends through the entire length of the handle, providing superior balance and stability. This design ensures the knife feels substantial and controlled in your hand, rather than feeling blade-heavy or flimsy.

Thanks to the 67-layer Damascus steel and the 60 HRC rating, these knives are designed for exceptional edge retention. You won't need to sharpen them nearly as often as standard stainless steel knives, though using a honing rod occasionally will help maintain that 12-degree edge precision.

Yes, the handles are ergonomically designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip for a variety of hand sizes. The faux ebony material is moisture-resistant, ensuring a steady hold even during extended use at the dinner table.
