A great gift for the newlywed or college graduate setting up their first apartment, this eight-piece set contains almost every knife needed for most everyday uses, including three-inch and 3-1/2 inch paring knives for trimming, peeling, and dicing fruits and vegetables; a 5-1/2-inch utility knife for cutting sandwiches and slicing meats; a serrated nine-inch bread knife for slicing crusty loaves and baguettes; and a 7-1/2-inch chefs knife for all-purpose tasks from mincing garlic to chopping vegetables. Rounding out the set are four 4-1/2-inch steak knives, indispensable for slicing and properly presenting everyones favorite cut of meat. Also included are an eight-inch sharpening steel and an attractive hardwood storage block to store and protect knives.
Chicago Cutlerys Walnut Tradition line of cutlery combines high performance with excellent value. Stamped rather than forged for lighter weight and a more reasonable price, the blades are made from high-carbon, 420 stainless steel with carbon to keep edges sharper longer and chromium to resist rust and stains, while Chicagos exclusive Taper Grind edge produces impressively precise slices and retains its sharpness well over time. A full tang extends from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle for improved balance and strength. Comfortable walnut handles offer the rich warmth of wood and a classic look; theyre securely held to the blade with triple-compression brass rivets for added safety and stability. Chicago Cutlery covers their knives with a lifetime guarantee; they recommend hand-washing and drying for best results. --Mary Park
