## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the actual weight of the knife (not shipping weight)? Is it the same as the Renaissance?**
A: The knife alone weighs 7.62 oz or, 216 grams

**Q: For the "8-inch short bolster forged chef's knife", what's the measurement from the spine to blade edge, at the bolster? the widest part of the knife.**
A: That is 1 and 3/4 inch.

**Q: Are them dishwasher safe?**
A: ABSOLUTELY NOT! You shouldn't ever wash your knives in the dishwasher. The soap is VERY caustic and will eat away the blade edge ruining the knife. I just wash mine with mild dish soap, rinse thoroughly and then dry and put into my knife holder.

**Q: This is probably a silly question but... what do you use for sharpening it?**
A: We use an Accusharp Knife sharpener and it works great.
