Questions
Before you buy
What is in the set?
Chef knife, santoku, utility knife, slicing knife, each in its own box. Bought separately: $306, as a set: $179.
Are Alba knives damascus steel?
No: the blade is 7Cr17MoV stainless steel with a hammered finish, hardened to 56-58 HRC. Our damascus knives are in the other series.
Is the maple handle water resistant?
Maple is a dense wood, but still wood: rinse and dry the knife right away, never soak it and never use the dishwasher. A drop of food-safe oil now and then keeps the wood looking good.
