Traditional Hammered Flatware for Style and Function

Distinctive and packed with style, traditional hammered flatware is a fantastic choice for casual and formal dining. Featuring a beautifully unique look, this type of cutlery has a spectacular texture that others don't.

Hammered Flatware Sets

Create a buzz around the dinner table when you dish up delightful foods and serve your guests with traditional hammered flatware. The uneven surfaces, typically combined with mirror finishes, are a wonderful way to add visual interest to your culinary presentation. A standard flatware set includes salad forks, serrated dinner forks, soup spoons, dinner knives and teaspoons and it can be the perfect complement to your beautiful dinnerware set.

Hammered Chef's Knives

You don't have to be a professional chef to operate like one in the kitchen. With the right knives, you can chop, dice and slice like an expert - and you can do it in style when the cutting tools you choose have a hammered finish.

Chef's knives are available individually and in sets, so you can build your collection piece-by-piece or spring for a full suite of these professional-grade tools. A complete chef's knife collection typically includes at least one:

  • Boning knife. A boning knife - different from a fillet knife - features a sharp point and a narrow blade. Chefs and cooks use it to remove the bones from poultry, fish and a variety of meats.
  • Bread knife. Long and serrated, a bread knife is designed to cut fresh loaves straight from the oven, bagels and other grain-based fare.
  • Chef's knife. A chef's knife features a long, flat blade that makes it versatile enough to cut just about anything. You can use this type of knife for cutting meat, dicing fruits and veggies, chopping nuts and cutting herbs and spices.
  • Nakiri knife. This Japanese-style knife is designed for fruits and vegetables, and it looks a little like a cleaver. It's fairly heavy and it's extremely sharp, so it can cut through tough skins easily.
  • Paring knife. Small and compact, a paring knife is a must-have for peeling fruits and vegetables in the kitchen.
  • Santoku knife. Santoku knives look a lot like chef's knives, but they don't have a sharp, pointed tip; instead, the end of the knife curves down. The blade is thin and allows you to be more precise when you're slicing, and they're generally lighter than chef's knives are.
  • Vegetable knife. A vegetable knife looks like a miniature cleaver and you can use it on meat, vegetables, legumes and other dishes. Because it features a wide blade, scooting your chopped, sliced and diced ingredients from the cutting board to the pan is easy.

Tip: Invest in a good cutting board - one that can stand up to the rigors of your busy kitchen - at the same time you expand your knife collection.

Hammered Steak Knife Sets

Steak knife sets featuring hammered finishes are an exceptional finishing touch for your cutlery collection. Most steak knife sets come with four to six knives and feature a wide range of handle styles and decorative finishes. When you choose a set with a hammered finish - called tsuchime in Japanese, the top of the blade is typically where you'll see it.

Choosing traditional hammered flatware for your table is a brilliant way to add visual interest without going over the top. These beautiful additions give your dining area a serious style boost during dinner parties, intimate dinners for two and family gatherings.
