What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Knife details and construction claims come from the listing. The title calls the set three pieces, while its details separately state 5 items and a unit count of 3. Check the selected listing for clarification. The listing says the bread knife has a serrated edge but separately gives Plain as the blade edge. Triple-layer construction is described only as applying where specified, and only the chef and bread knives are assigned a 59±2 HRC rating. Customer feedback also includes reports of rust after initial use and a storage block breaking, although no storage block is listed as included for this set.
