Set Includes
8-Inch Chef’s Knife Known as the most versatile of all knives, the chef’s knife may be used to peel, trim, pare, slice, dice, and chop. 7-Inch Santoku Knife A traditional Asian-style knife that excels in chopping, slicing, and making paper-thin cuts. The Kullens grind on the blade adds a unique visual appeal, as well as aids in preventing foods from sticking to the blade. 5-Inch Utility Knife The utility knife is a great tool for generally any type of use. It excels at cutting smaller portions of meats and fruits, but can also be used to pare, trim, peel, slice, and dice foods. 5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife Performs all the tasks of the fine-edge utility knife, but the serrated edge is specially designed to slice delicate foods such as tomatoes. 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife Due to its small size, the paring knife allows fine control of the blade and tip of the knife, making it great for fine and precision cutting. Peeling, garnishing, and small chopping tasks can quickly and easily be accomplished with the paring knife. 8-Inch Honing Rod Used to maintain the edge of the blades. Kitchen Shears The kitchen shears are the most versatile tool in the kitchen. They can be used to cut anything from poultry and vegetables to twine and plastic bags. The handles have a built-in twist-style bottle opener, jar opener, and nut cracker. The blades have a built-in bottle opener. Bamboo Storage Block Made from richly grained bamboo, the block beautifully stores and protects fine cutlery when not in use.
