Global Masuta Knife Block Set

No, these knives must be hand washed. The high-performance stainless steel and handle construction are sensitive to the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher, which can dull the blades and damage the finish.

The handles are filled with a precise amount of sand to create the perfect weight and balance. This design ensures the knife feels stable and comfortable in your hand, reducing fatigue during extended cutting tasks.

These knives feature a 15-degree blade angle per side, which is sharper than the typical 20-25 degree angle found on most Western-style knives. This steeper angle allows for cleaner, more precise cuts, though it requires slightly more care to maintain.

The bamboo block is designed with four slots, but the set includes three knives and a ceramic sharpener. While you could technically store another slim knife in the fourth slot, the block is specifically optimized for this trio.

The seamless design eliminates the gap between the blade and the handle where food particles and bacteria typically accumulate. This makes the knives significantly more hygienic and easier to clean thoroughly.
