What knives are in the set?

An 8-inch chef's knife, a 9-inch bread knife with a serrated edge and a 3.8-inch paring knife.

Where are the knives made?

They are crafted in Thiers, France, a historic center of French knife making.

Are the blades forged or stamped?

Each knife is fully forged and full tang from a single rod of stainless steel.

Do the knives need frequent sharpening?

The edge geometry is designed to extend blade life and reduce how often you sharpen. The serrated bread knife should not be honed like the plain edges.

Which handle should I pick?

Black ABS is the lower-maintenance option; olive wood looks warmer but needs more care to avoid drying or water damage.

Does it come with a block or sharpener?

No. The set is the three knives only, so plan on separate storage and a honing steel.
