Description
Designed for home chefs, outdoor cooks, and culinary enthusiasts who appreciate classic American craftsmanship and exceptional cutting performance, the Ontario Knife Company Old Hickory 5-Piece Knife Set is a timeless kitchen staple. Precision-crafted in the USA using high-carbon 1095 steel, these blades are fully heat-treated and tempered to deliver razor-sharp, long-lasting edges that outcut standard stainless steel knives. Each knife in the set features an iconic hardwood handle secured with solid brass compression rivets, providing a comfortable, natural grip and a rustic heritage aesthetic. The set covers all essential kitchen cutting needs, including a 3.25" paring knife, a 6" boning knife, a 7" butcher knife, an 8" slicing knife, and an 8" chef knife. With proper care and oiling, this traditional high-carbon knife set develops a distinctive protective patina and delivers unmatched slicing power for generations.
How To Use
-
Selecting the Right Knife: Use the paring knife for detailed peeling and trimming, the boning knife for deboning meat, the butcher knife for heavy chopping and portioning, the slicer for clean roasts and poultry cuts, and the chef knife for general dicing and chopping.
-
Hand Washing & Drying: Always hand-wash knives immediately after use with warm soapy water and dry them completely with a towel. Never clean in a dishwasher to prevent handle warping and blade corrosion.
-
Patina & Maintenance: Apply a food-safe mineral oil to the carbon steel blades and hardwood handles periodically to prevent rust, maintain the wood, and foster a natural protective patina.
