FAQs
Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. The abrasive nature of dishwasher detergents and high heat will damage the copper PVD coating.
What does PVD coating mean?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a process used to apply a durable, decorative metallic finish to the stainless steel base.
Will the copper finish wear off?
If properly maintained and hand-washed, the PVD finish is designed to be highly durable for professional use.
What type of stainless steel is used?
The knives are crafted from 18/0 stainless steel, which is durable and highly resistant to rust under normal use.
Are these suitable for formal events?
Yes, their rustic yet sophisticated look makes them an excellent choice for both casual dining and special restaurant occasions.
Troubleshooting
Water spots appearing on the copper surface
Dry the knife thoroughly with a soft microfiber cloth immediately after rinsing.
Finish looks dull after frequent use
Buff the surface gently with a dry, soft cloth to restore the matte luster.
Visible scratches on the PVD coating
Avoid using scouring pads or abrasive brushes; always use soft sponges during hand-washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your dining area with these knives involves ensuring your existing cutlery set matches the copper aesthetic. Because these knives feature a delicate PVD-coated copper surface, they should be stored separately from coarse metal utensils to prevent scratching.
Care Instructions:
- Do not use a dishwasher: High temperatures and abrasive detergents will strip the copper coating.
- Hand-wash only: Use warm, soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge.
- Dry immediately: Use a soft lint-free cloth to dry the knife immediately after washing to prevent water spotting.
- Avoid acidic cleaners: Do not soak the knives in solutions containing lemon or harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the finish.
