Tramontina Churrasco Black kitchen knives: barbequing in style

Reasons to buy Tramontina Churrasco Black kitchen knives

Tramontina Churrasco Black blade

The blade is made from strong stainless steel with a black oxidation coating: a nitro-carburized blackwash. This is a thin layer that protects the blade even better against corrosion and scratches. The blade is then stonewashed for a tough-looking finish. This steel is easy to sharpen yourself if the knife starts to lose some of its sharpness over time.

Tramontina Churrasco Black handle

The handle is made from FSC-certified wood: wood from the Brazil nut tree, to be precise. A nice, dark wood that matches the dark colour of the blade very nicely. The handle is attached to the blade with two black rivets. The handle features a finger groove for your index finger. This is something you often see on outdoor knives. Thanks to the finger groove at the front of the handle you have a lot of control over the large blade.

Maintaining your Tramontina Churrasco Black kitchen knives

If you properly maintain your new knives you can enjoy them for years! Like most kitchen knives, the knives from the Tramontina Churrasco Black collection are not dishwasher safe. If you put them in the dishwasher you will notice soon enough that the wood will be affected. It is the result of a combination of the harsh detergent, the heat and the fact that the blades stay damp too long in the dishwasher. The dishwasher can damage the wooden handle and the blade can start to rust. It is best to wash and dry them by hand immediately after use. Keep the wood in optimal condition by regularly applying a coat of mineral oil to the handle.
