You get the three knives that actually earn their place in a kitchen: an 8\" chef, a 6 1\/8\" utility, and a 4 1\/4\" paring. All three are stonewashed CPM-154 stainless, ground with Benchmade's SelectEdge, and handled in Maple Valley Richlite with smooth black G10 bolsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in the set\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8\" Chef's knife\u003c\/strong\u003e, 13.02\" overall.

Hand wash the handles on your Benchmade 4000-02 set with warm soapy water and dry them, and they will hold up for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan these knives go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Hand wash and dry the Benchmade 4000-02 kitchen set. Dishwasher heat, detergent, and knocking against other items will dull and damage a fine kitchen edge, and this is true of any quality cutlery, not just this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is SelectEdge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelectEdge is Benchmade's factory edge ground to a much more acute angle than a conventional kitchen bevel. On the Benchmade 4000-02 set that means the knives arrive noticeably sharper, and they slice with less pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes LifeSharp cover kitchen knives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. LifeSharp is Benchmade's free factory service, and it applies to the Benchmade 4000-02 kitchen set. Benchmade will clean, adjust, and resharpen the knives back to a factory edge for the life of the knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the Benchmade 4000-02 set made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade 4000-02 kitchen cutlery set is made in the USA at Benchmade's factory in Oregon City, Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Going Gear an authorized Benchmade dealer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
