David Mellor Rosewood Steak Knife

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. The rosewood handles require hand washing to prevent the wood from drying out, cracking, or losing its finish over time.

The finely serrated edges are designed to slice cleanly through cooked meats without tearing the fibers. This precision helps retain the meat's juices and flavor, preventing the compression often caused by duller blades.

Each knife has an overall length of 9 inches, with a 4.5-inch blade. This size provides a balanced feel that is comfortable for most users during dining.

While they are primarily designed as table knives, their sharp, precision-ground blades are versatile enough for small-scale kitchen tasks like slicing herbs or trimming vegetables. However, they should not be used for heavy-duty chopping or cutting through bone.

The set includes six steak knives and a handmade wooden box. The box is designed to serve as both a presentation piece for gifting and a permanent storage solution to protect the blades and handles.
