The blades carry a powder coating certified to FDA 21 CFR 175.300, the standard covering resinous coatings approved for direct food contact. [Remove this entire section if your supplier cannot confirm compliance.]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coating is applied to the blade flats and spine only. The cutting edge is ground bare and sharpened after coating, so the working edge is steel meeting food, not finish meeting food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Durable Is a Powder-Coated Blade?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth being straight about, since most listings skip it. Powder coat is a mid-range blade finish. It sits well behind ceramic or diamond-like carbon coatings for wear resistance, and it costs a fraction as much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the flats and spine it lasts for years without visible change. Near the cutting edge, where the blade repeatedly contacts the board, the coating thins and eventually shows bare steel. That wear is expected on any powder-coated blade and is not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the coating longer by cutting on wood or a knife-friendly synthetic board rather than glass or stone, and by avoiding abrasive scouring pads when washing.

Grain and colour vary between pieces because every handle is cut and shaped by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Should You Care for Coated Kitchen Knives?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry the blade, bolster, and handle immediately. Avoid abrasive pads and scouring powders, which strip the coating faster than any amount of cutting does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the set out of the dishwasher entirely.
