Photo-etched edges and a leather sleeve
Seven products, and none of them is conventional.
24.5 × 10.5 cm (9.6 × 4.1 in) in 304 stainless, with photo-etched cutting edges rather than punched or stamped ones, and a real wood catching tray. Etched teeth are sharper and stay sharper than punched ones; it is the single specification that separates graters, and this is the only listing here that names it.
Seven pieces with knives included, in acacia, stated blade-friendly, with a built-in sharpener. The maker’s own line is that there are no cheap filler knives in it — which is the standard complaint about knife blocks sold with knives.
28 cm (11 in), uncoated 100% stainless, with a removable leather handle sleeve. The sleeve is the only one of its kind in this catalog: it comes off for the oven and goes back on for the hob.
The grater, for the etched edges.
