The Schmidt Brothers Carbon 6 cutlery set combines functionality and style with its 15-piece collection featuring ultra-sharp polished blades and raw, scorched steel handles. Designed by the New York-based firm, it offers a modern interpretation of classic German cutlery. The high-carbon German steel blades are expertly polished, while the handles, treated at 2,750 degrees Fahrenheit, are finished in a striking matte black. Each knife is designed for optimal control and comfort, thanks to the specially weighted handles and the patented Schmidt Brothers curve. The accompanying knife block provides a sleek and practical display for these high-quality blades, making it a classic addition for any budding home chef.
