X50CrMoV15 German Steel

X — Stainless Steel - High-grade durable German Steel.
50 — Carbon Content - 0.5% carbon offers good hardness, which results in good edge retention. The blade stays sharper, longer.
Cr — Chromium - Ensures high rust resistance in the finish of the blades.
Mo — Molybdenum - Increases toughness and reduces the likelihood of chipping.
V — Vanadium - Improves grain structure and durability to reduce wear.
15 — Chromium Content - 15% chromium increases the resistance to oxidation and corrosion and allows the classification of ‘stainless steel'.

Note: Acacia wood varies in tone. Blocks may be slightly lighter or darker than blocks pictured. The Sugar (white) Knife Block has a white coated exterior and is made of the same acacia wood and soft wood interior that is gentle on knives. The Sugar tone may appear slightly different or more cream in person.

Use & Care + -

Wash your knives before first use.
Use the back or topside when scraping food off your cutting board. Using the sharp side will dull your blade.
To keep knives sharp, hand-washing is recommended. All Kilne knives are dishwasher safe.
Use a wood or plastic cutting board. Cutting onto metal, glass or stone surfaces can dull or damage knives
Cutting frozen foods can also damage your knives.
Store knives in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to keep them sharp and protected. Keeping knives loose in drawers can cause premature wear and tear.
Although Kilne knives are designed to stay sharper longer, we still recommend you sharpen or hone them often. See FAQ for more details.
Wipe magnetic block clean with a damp cloth (do not submerge or soak).

Why Canadians Love Kilne

Sharpness That Lasts

The chromium German steel blades feature a 13-degree angle edge designed to make fine cuts and stay sharp.

Fully Forged Construction

A single bar of steel is heated and hammered into shape, creating a durable, long-lasting blade.

Full Tang Blade

One piece of steel through the blade and into the handle, providing balance and eliminating weak spots.

Love at First Slice

Tackle any culinary venture with three essential award-winning knives, stored on a space-saving wall mounted magnetic strip.

The Chef's Knife

The the most versatile of kitchen knives. Great for fine cuts using the tip of the blade, everyday chopping, and heavy lifting like slicing through your favourite cut of meat. Use the broad, flat blade to crush garlic or bruise foods like lemongrass.

The Bread Knife

This serrated blade can slice all kinds of baked goods, cut tomatoes and soft fruits, or trim a pineapple or melon. Slice cheese and salami, or even carve up a roast in a pinch. Try shredding lettuce and cabbage too.

The Paring Knife

This smaller blade offers greater precision than larger knives, for finer cuts, exact slices, and delicate tasks like peeling, trimming, and removing seeds. It’s an ideal choice for small fruits and vegetables like strawberries and brussel sprouts.

The Magnetic Strip

Made from acacia wood, this wall-mounted magnetic strip allows you to store knives without sacrificing precious counter or cupboard space.

Gift well Received

We bought the Essential Knife Set as a gift for our niece who lives in Britain as well as a cousin in Argentina. Our niece was so thrilled. She and her husband badly need some good knives and this gift was easy to pack in her checked bag. The second set has not yet been given. No doubt it will be appreciated by our young cousin.
Thank you Kilne for creating the perfect gift that’s easy to give

Knives are great 👍

Extremely Sharp in Design and Cut

I love these knives! They are so sharp they cut through everything cleanly and are well balanced. I'm very happy I made this purchase and would recommend.

Very pleased with this purchase

Knives are good quality, especially for the price. They look good and the larger grips and light weight are easy on my arthritis.
