This three piece set from Robert Welch's Professional range covers the two knives most cooks use daily: a 9cm paring knife and a 15cm chef's knife. Both are fully forged from German DIN 1.4116 stainless steel with a full tang, and ice-hardened to 57 HRC for lasting sharpness. The handles are POM with rivets and the RW insignia set into the steel. The set also includes Robert Welch's hand-held sharpener, which has a replaceable ceramic wheel to hone and micro-sharpen plain edged kitchen knives. It comes gift boxed, and the knives carry a lifetime guarantee.
- Two essential knives: A 9cm paring knife for small, precise jobs and a 15cm chef's knife for chopping, slicing and dicing.
- Fully forged German steel: DIN 1.4116 stainless steel with a full tang for strength and balance.
- Ice-hardened to 57 HRC: Hardened for lasting sharpness, and hand-honed to a fine edge.
- Hand-held sharpener included: A ceramic sharpening wheel keeps plain edged knives sharp at home, and the wheel is replaceable.

What Customers Ask About This Product
What is in the set?
A 9cm paring knife, a 15cm chef's knife and a Robert Welch hand-held knife sharpener.
Can I put the knives in the dishwasher?
We recommend washing them by hand, as dishwashers can dull and chip blades. Rinse soon after use, wash in warm soapy water and dry straight away.
How do I use the sharpener?
Pull the knife through the ceramic wheel to hone and micro-sharpen the edge. It is designed for plain edged knives. Robert Welch publishes a sharpening guide on its website.
How often should the sharpening wheel be replaced?
Robert Welch suggests replacing the ceramic wheel every 12 to 24 months, depending on how often you use it. Replacement wheels are available.
What should I chop on?
Wood or soft plastic boards are best. Avoid glass, stone, metal or very hard bamboo, which can dull the edge.
In our experience...
Honing and sharpening are different. Regular honing keeps an edge aligned between sharpenings. The hand-held sharpener lets you do a little often, which is easier on the blade than infrequent heavy sharpening.
What 57 HRC means. HRC is the Rockwell hardness scale. Around 57 is hard enough to hold an edge well, yet not so hard that the blade becomes brittle or difficult to sharpen at home.
Why a full tang matters. The steel runs the full length of the handle, which adds strength and gives a balanced feel when you chop.

Care & Use Instructions
Washing the knives: Handwash only. Rinse soon after use, wash in warm soapy water with a microfibre cloth or non-abrasive brush, avoid soaking and dry immediately. Avoid scouring pads and abrasive cleaners.
Chopping surface: Use wooden or soft plastic boards. Glass, stone, metal and very hard bamboo can dull and damage the edge.
The sharpener: Wipe clean as needed. Replace the ceramic wheel every 12 to 24 months, depending on use.
