This forged steak knife set was created by chef Daniel Boulud. Boulud is a world renowned chef and author who runs several restaurants including Daniel in New York. Considered one of the world's finest restaurants, it is a wildly popular gathering place on Park Avenue. This beautiful set was designed by the chef in conjunction with the experts at Sabatier. Sabatier is a traditional cutlery company known for their high end French product. They favor forged pieces created with Japanese steel in a multi step process that is hundreds of years old. This DBK steak knife set features a beautiful black wood and metal signature storage box along with four 100% forged knives with black polymer handles. Also included are four table rests to keep your knives handy at every place setting. The hand ground serrated edges are ideal for slicing cooked meats and the ergonomic handles feature a unique DBK signature bolster. Like all fine stainless steel knives, hand washing is recommended and knives should be dried after use.
