FAQs

You've got four main series. What's the actual difference?

Supreme (The Workhorse): Your durable, reliable first great knife.

Retro (The Upgrade): A big step up. Stays seriously sharp, for longer.

Mo (The Stunner): All the sharpness of the Upgrade, in a beautiful Damascus finish.

LAN (The Pro): Our absolute best. Elite steel for an edge that just doesn't quit.

Is the wavy 'Damascus' pattern on the Mo and LAN series real?

Oh, 100%. That’s not a cheap laser-etch you’ll see on knock-offs.

It’s the real, beautiful result of folding 67+ layers of steel over that high-performance core. It looks incredible, and it even helps food slide right off the blade. This is the real deal.

So... can I put my knife in the dishwasher?

That's the one hard "no." A dishwasher's high heat and harsh soap are brutal on a sharp blade and a beautiful handle.

The simple fix: Just give it a 10-second hand wash with warm, soapy water right after use. Done.

Aren't these just 'Made in China' knives?

Yep. They’re made in Yangjiang, the "Capital of Knives."

Here’s a fun fact: Yangjiang has been mastering this craft for over 1,400 years. That’s centuries before the famous hubs in Germany and Japan even got started.

So we take world-class steel, send it to the city with the longest history of making world-class blades, and skip the legacy-brand markups. It’s not just a good knife; it's a smart one.

What's the warranty? What if I don't like it?

Easy. If it's not love at first slice, send it back within 30 days for a full refund.

You're also covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. And as a 100% Aussie company, you’re always protected by Australian Consumer Law. We’ve got your back.
