Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

James K. ★★★★★

The 8-inch chef's knife has a nice heft to it and the blade glided through a butternut squash without any wedging. The blonde wood handles are also lighter in person than I expected, which I actually prefer.

Isabella U. ★★★★★

The paring knife has become my go-to for everything from hulling strawberries to trimming chicken, and the blade still glides through like it did on day one. I was worried the blonde wood handles would feel slick, but they grip well even with wet hands.

Chloe Q. ★★★★★

The 6.5-inch utility knife turned out to be the one I reach for most — perfect for breaking down chicken breasts and slicing sandwiches. The blonde wood handles are also a bit lighter in person than the photos suggested, which actually makes them feel more balanced in hand.
