Our take on the Made In 2-Pc. Chef & Paring Knife Set - Olive Wood

A two-piece set from Made In: an 8-inch chef's knife and a 3.8-inch paring knife, hand-forged in Thiers, France from nitrogen-hardened X50CrMoV15 stainless steel with full tangs and olivewood handles. The asymmetric bevel (14° micro bevel, 4° polish) is meant to slice cleanly and hold an edge, and the blades rate 58+ on the Rockwell scale. It suits cooks who want two forged French knives that cover most prep and outlast stamped sets, though it costs more and needs hand washing.

Questions and answers

Is the Made In chef and paring knife set worth it?
If you want two forged French knives that cover most prep and hold an edge, yes. It costs more than stamped sets but should outlast them.
How does it compare with a German knife set?
Made In blades are forged in Thiers with a harder 58+ HRC steel and a thinner asymmetric bevel, so they slice more precisely but need more careful handling than softer German steel.
Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?
No. Made In says hand wash only; heat and detergent can dry out the olivewood handles and dull the edge.
What's in the box?
An 8-inch chef's knife and a 3.8-inch paring knife, both with olivewood handles and stainless steel rivets.
Are they suitable for left-handed users?
Yes. The asymmetric bevel is described as suitable for both left- and right-hand use.
How hard are the blades?
Made In rates the nitrogen-hardened X50CrMoV15 steel at 58+ on the Rockwell C scale, harder than most German kitchen knives.
