Ideal as a starter set, this collection from Calphalon includes all the basic blades for kitchen use as well as the tools to maintain and house them. An 8-inch chef's knife for chopping large quantities starts the set, followed by a 3.5-inch paring knife for peeling and intricate tasks, and a 6-inch utility knife for everything in between. An additional 6-inch utility knife features a serrated edge equipping it for tasks such as slicing bread or tomatoes. To keep everything in tip-top shape, a 9-inch sharpening steel is included and should be used regularly. Collecting everything in one place and keeping tools at the ready, the 12-slot, countertop, storage block measures 8-1/2 by 9 by 4-1/2 inches and comes with a natural wood finish.
Forged from a single piece of high carbon steel, each blade in the set boasts durability and stain resistance, and finishes with a tapered cutting edge. A full, visible tang stretches the length of each knife to provide strength and balance while sturdy steel bolsters create space for knuckles to remain safe. Reinforced with fiberglass, the black, poly resin handles won't absorb moisture or crack and are triple-riveted to guarantee a wiggle-free hold. Made in China and covered by a 10-year warranty, each piece benefits from hand washing. -- Amy Arnold
