Houston’s is pleased to announce a new partnership with Mundial, and is further pleased to introduce to you the new Challenger by Mundial cutlery line. Joining forces with Mundial allows us to offer you an extensive line of knives that are stylish yet durable, sleek yet strong, and with ergonomic, antimicrobial black handles, a definite plus among the younger generations of cooks. All this at competitive prices and with fabulous point of sale packaging.

Challenger knives are constructed from stain-free, high-carbon steel—the steel gives the knife the strength it needs to hold up to the toughest of cutting jobs, and the carbon allows for the necessary softness to maintain a sharp edge. Their soft, ergonomic handles help to alleviate carpel tunnel syndrome, and also help to limit slips when hands are wet.

With three different types of edges, Challenger knives can meet your kitchen needs: a straight edge, for all-purpose use; a scalloped edge to cut through anything with a skin or to cut bread; and a granton edge, to cut through foods which have density, such as a roast or ham (granton edges also work well when cutting high-moisture vegetables such as tomatoes or cucumbers.) The type of knife you need depends on what you are going to cut. Please contact Inside Sales and they will help you determine your needs.

Caring for your knives is easy as one, two, three—simply wash them in a three-compartment sink and then dry immediately. Often busy cooks will opt to run their knives through the dishwasher, and that is okay. But be aware that dishwashers can discolor your knives, can dull them, and eventually may ruin them. Use the dishwasher cleaning method only when absolutely necessary, if at all.
