You remember these! They were the staple knife in every kitchen drawer in America. All knives in this set feature high carbon steel blades. Full tang construction. Hardwood handles. Set includes an 8" Slicer, 7" Butcher, 6' Boner, 4" Parer and a 3 1/2" Parer. Made by Ontario Knife Company USA. NOTE: Old Hickory Knives are produced with the finest cutlery grade carbon steel and hardwood handles. Each knife is manufactured in the USA and all component parts and raw materials are purchased in the USA. Carbon steel knives are preferred by those who want a sharp, long-lasting edge. With use, the blades will develop a distinctive dark finish. This is not a defect, but rather your guarantee of genuine high carbon steel. As with all quality cutlery, never let Old Hickory knives sit in water or place them in a dishwasher. Simply wash the knives and dry them thoroughly.
