Included
Material and manufacture
The blade is hardened, ground and hand-finished in Solingen. Hand-finishing is the step that determines how long the edge lasts. The handle is cut from solid olive wood blocks sourced in Italy. VOCUT does not buy finished handles. Only wood from trees around 1,000 years old that no longer bear fruit is used. Olive wood is dense, hard and naturally antibacterial, and every handle is unique in its grain. Behind VOCUT stands a Solingen family history: the founder's father worked as an "Ausmacher", the trade that brings blade, handle and grind together into a finished knife.
Care
Clean by hand with warm water and mild detergent, then dry immediately. Do not put in the dishwasher. Rub the olive wood handle with a little cooking oil occasionally so it does not dry out.
Frequently asked questions
What is this knife set used for?
The VOCUT 4-teiliges Messerset aus Solingen Olivenholzgriff 20 cm mit Brotmesser is a knife set as a coordinated basic kit for the kitchen.
How long is the blade?
The blade measures 20 cm. Total length is 34 cm.
Where is this item made?
In Solingen, Germany. Every production step - hardening, grinding, polishing and assembly - takes place there. The name Solingen has been protected by law since 1938, today under the Solingen Decree (Solingenverordnung). It permits the origin claim only for cutlery manufactured in all essential production stages within the Solingen industrial area.
Which steel is the blade made of?
The blade is made of X50CrMoV15 (1.4116), hardened to 56-58 HRC. Molybdenum raises corrosion resistance, vanadium refines the grain structure and increases wear resistance.
Is the olive wood handle dishwasher safe?
No. Heat and prolonged moisture make the wood swell and crack. Wipe by hand, dry immediately and rub in a little cooking oil occasionally.
Where does the olive wood come from?
From Italy, as solid raw blocks. VOCUT does not buy finished handles and only uses wood from trees around 1,000 years old that no longer bear fruit.
How is the knife resharpened?
Between uses the edge is realigned on a honing steel. Once genuinely blunt it needs regrinding, by hand on a stone or through the VOCUT sharpening service.
What is included?
1 x Brotmesser.
Which knives are included in this set?
The exact contents are listed in the product details above.
Is a set worth it compared to individual knives?
If you are building a basic kit, yes: the blade shapes are matched and cover the usual tasks. If you already own knives, targeted individual pieces are often the better choice.
