Know before you buy
The set includes a 4-inch paring knife, a 5.5-inch prep knife, an 8-inch bread knife, and an 8-inch chef's knife. It is rounded out by a pair of TWIN shears and a sharpening steel, all housed in a 16-slot hardwood block.
Yes. Since the set only occupies a portion of the 16 available slots, you have plenty of extra space to store additional knives or kitchen tools as your collection grows.
The curved bolster is designed to support the 'pinch grip,' which is the professional standard for holding a chef's knife. This shape encourages better control, reduces hand fatigue, and improves safety during repetitive cutting tasks.
While the blades are made of high-quality stainless steel, it is highly recommended to hand wash and dry them immediately after use. Dishwashers can dull the edges and potentially damage the handle material over time.
This set includes a TWIN sharpening steel, which is intended for regular honing to keep the blade edge aligned. For long-term maintenance, you should have the knives professionally sharpened or use a compatible sharpening system once the edge begins to dull.
The block measures 16.75 inches in length, 9.75 inches in width, and 5.5 inches in height. Be sure to measure your available counter depth to ensure it fits comfortably under your upper cabinets.
