The Tramontina Barbecue knife block contains tools for handling and preparing a wide range of food ingredients for grilling. The boning knife is the ideal tool for separating meat from bones and cutting the fat from the meat. The butcher knife’s rigid blade, curved from the tip, makes this medium-sized knife an excellent tool for cutting both raw and cooked meat. The large butcher's knife is ideal for cubing, cutting and slicing meat. The fluted edge on the blade reduce friction between the knife and the meat to be cut, making it easy to cut even large pieces of meat. All Tramontina Black Collection knives have an ergonomically designed wooden handle that provides a firm grip for precise work. The handles are made of FSC-certified Ipe wood and the rivets are durable stainless steel. The knife blades are made of dark oxidized stainless steel. The knife block also includes the Black Collection meat claw, designed to be a handy tool for preparing pulled pork and pulled chicken. You can also use it to easily hold a cut piece of meat in place, just like a carving fork. The meat claw is made of dark oxidized stainless steel and the handle is made of FSC-certified Ipe wood. The material of the knife block is FSC-certified Brazilian oak. All parts of the block are cleaned by hand, while the block itself should be wiped clean with a soft cloth and a mild all-purpose cleaner. Note: Severe mechanical stress, such as scrubbing during the wash, may change the appearance and colour of the darkened oxidised steel.
