Casa Neuhaus Black Series Utility Set Ceramic Knives - 3 inch Paring Knife & 5 inch Utility Knife - Black Ceramic Blade & Stainless Steel Handle - Includes Knife Sheath and Black Series Gift Box

Casa Neuhaus 2 pieces set is the perfect gift for the kitchen knives connoisseur. Includes a 3 inch paring knife and 5 inch utility knife. All of Casa Neuhaus knives are black blade ceramics with stainless steel handle. Unlike white ceramic blades our black blades are made of zirconium carbide which means that our blades have been subjected to an extended final firing process that produces this stronger blade. The zirconium carbide blades (which are the black ones) are up to twice as hard and sharp than the white blades. Casa Neuhaus is an American company based in Greenpoint Brooklyn. Our ceramic knives are made of 8.5 Mohs strength Zirconia. A diamond is grade 10 in the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, steel ranges from 7.5 to 8. Casa Neuhaus knives are 8.5 which means that our hard edge knives rarely need any sharpening that's why we offer lifetime warranty that includes sharpening service. Benefits of Ceramic Knives: Cleaner than steel blades. Unlike steel, ceramic has tiny pores so it's easier to clean and remove any dirt. Rust-Free: Rust comes about when iron alloys corrode in the presence of water and oxygen. Because ceramic blades lack any metal materials, it stays free of rust forever. No Chemical Properties: If you're using steel knives to cut your food, some of the chemical properties tend to give the food an odd metallic taste. That does not happen with ceramic knives. Lightweight: ultra light while always remaining super sharp.
