Two Knives, One Story

The salad knife and carving knife pairing is a classic of the French table - designed to work together for serving, carving, and presenting at the table with style. Carbon steel takes a finer, keener edge than stainless and develops a natural patina over time, a mark of a blade that has been used and cared for. The bone handles are warm in the hand and age beautifully. Whether displayed or used, this set brings a piece of French culinary history into your kitchen.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust and patina damage
• Apply a light coat of camellia or food-safe mineral oil periodically
• Hone regularly with a fine honing steel to maintain the edge
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - avoid loose drawers
