The pattern is a twisting ladder and wood-grain flow left in a raw natural finish. The 13-inch chef knife handles chopping, slicing, and large prep work. The bread and slicer knife has granton grooves along the flat. These reduce drag and stop food from sticking during long cuts. The santoku knife handles vegetable prep and Japanese-style chopping. The two mid-size utility knives cover general cutting and trimming. The small utility and 6-inch paring knife handle peeling and detail work.
