MOSFiATA Chef Knife Set (12-Piece, Silver)

What makes these knives different from regular kitchen knives?

These knives use high carbon stainless steel with 58-60 Rockwell hardness, which is significantly harder than standard kitchen knives. The all-steel integral moulding creates seamless construction without weak points. Each blade has a single-side 13-15° cutting angle for superior sharpness. The vacuum heat treatment process enhances durability and edge retention.

Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?

Whilst the knives are dishwasher safe, hand washing is strongly recommended. The high carbon content makes them susceptible to rust if not dried immediately after washing. Always clean and dry straight after use and never leave them wet. The carbon steel composition requires more careful maintenance than standard stainless steel.

How portable is this knife set for camping and outdoor cooking?

The Oxford cloth roll bag makes this extremely portable. It measures 36 x 15 x 4.5 cm when rolled up and weighs just 1.44 kg. Elastic straps hold knives securely during transport, whilst individual blade guards prevent accidents. The full-opening design allows quick access to any knife without unpacking everything.

What's included in the 12-piece set?

You get seven knives: 8" chef's knife, 7" Santoku knife, 8" bread knife, 8" carving knife, 5" all-purpose knife, 5" Santoku knife and 3.5" fruit knife. Additional items include a knife sharpening rod, seven blade sheaths, dishcloth, three finger guards and the Oxford cloth storage roll bag.

How do I maintain the sharpness of these knives?

The set includes a sharpening rod for regular maintenance. The high carbon steel holds its edge longer than standard steel but requires proper care. Always cut on appropriate surfaces, never glass or stone. Clean immediately after use and dry thoroughly. Store with the provided blade guards to prevent edge damage.

Are these knives suitable for professional kitchen use?

Yes, the 58-60 Rockwell hardness rating meets professional standards. The ergonomic handles reduce fatigue during extended use, whilst the balanced weight distribution improves cutting precision. The portable design makes them ideal for catering professionals who work at multiple locations or outdoor events.

What's the difference between the Santoku knives and chef's knife?

The 8" chef's knife is the primary workhorse for chopping, dicing and slicing larger items. The 7" Santoku knife has a shorter, wider blade perfect for precision work and smaller ingredients. The 5" Santoku knife handles delicate tasks like herb chopping and small vegetable preparation. Each serves different cutting techniques and ingredient sizes.

How does the warranty and customer service work?

MOSFiATA provides 24-hour customer service support for any issues or questions. The company offers after-sales service to ensure customer satisfaction. If you experience any problems with the knives or accessories, their support team can provide guidance on maintenance, replacement parts, or warranty claims through their customer service channels.
