German knife steel and acacia, at the price below it
Two knives and a board set.
A 20 cm (7.9 in) serrated bread knife and a 20 cm (7.9 in) chef’s knife, both in German knife steel, the chef’s knife with an acacia handle. The bread knife is stated rust resistant and recommended for tomatoes as well as crust — which is what a serrated edge is genuinely good at.
Three at 32 × 22 × 0.7 cm (12.6 × 8.7 × 0.3 in) in three greys, with anti-slip nubs, a rubberized grip, a stand and dishwasher safety. Color coding is the practical part: it is how raw meat and salad stop sharing a surface.
“German knife steel” is a description rather than a designation. The brands above it in the knife hubs name an alloy — 1.4116, 10Cr15MoV, X55CrMo14 — and this one does not.
The three-board set, for the color coding and the published thickness.
