It's a must-have for home chefs who appreciate craftsmanship and style. - PREMIUM JAPANESE STEEL: Three layers of Japanese stainless steel combine with high carbon for unmatched strength and easy-to-care-for resilience. At finishing, each knife is heat-treated at 300°F before it's cryogenically tempered at -250°F, altering the structure of the steel on a molecular level, making it harder, sharper, and more durable. - RAZOR-SHARP PRECISION: Inspired by narrow-tipped Japanese knives, we engineered a 13-degree edge after testing various angles, ensuring lasting sharpness and precision with every cut. - PERFECTLY BALANCED DESIGN: Full-tang construction for superior durability and weight distribution, reducing hand fatigue and cramping. The even balance at the bolster offers a "just right" feel in your hand for comfortable, precise chopping, slicing and dicing. - COMFORTABLE, SECURE GRIP: Drawing from the classic oval shape of Japanese handles, we refined it with a stain-resistant, matte composite. The result is a firm, slightly grippy surface that provides confident, safe handling during use. ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Material - **Color:** Almost Black - **Handle Material:** Composite - **Blade Edge:** Plain ## Images ![The Knife Trio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+YbY7RZjL.jpg) ![The Knife Trio - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Qs1EsVH3L.jpg) ![The Knife Trio - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X0vtt364L.jpg) ![The Knife Trio - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XmmjoPB8L.jpg) ![The Knife Trio - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IgpbqvHQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Looove *by Y***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023* Love love love this perfect little trio of knives.

I’m a sucker for aesthetics — and these are not only pretty, but also work incredibly well! 

I needed a new set of knives and my research led me to try Material’s knife set! I saw them featured on nymag and cnet, so figured I’d give them a try. I am so happy that I did! I’ve used all three knives and they are super sharp and very easy to hold. I’ve used it to cut vegetables, frozen food, and even tried it on paper hahaha.They also have beautiful packaging! I would highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommend! *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2022* A few friends have recommended these knives to me and I finally got them! Ordered them in Cool Neutral and they came in this really cool packaging. The three knives themselves all are very sleek, sharp and great quality. Excited to add them to my collection! Overall very happy with my purchase and think they are a staple for every kitchen. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/393529884-the-knife-trio](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/393529884-the-knife-trio) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
