Stored in a hardwood block, the five kitchen knives, kitchen shears, and hand-held knife sharpener in this 8-piece set are always within reach. Though the medium-weight, stamped knives won't suit serious cooks seeking top quality, they're perfectly acceptable for a novice cook. Their blades are made of stainless steel and have 18/8 stainless-steel handles with soft, Santoprene accents for a nonslip grip. The knives are dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the edges. The five kitchen knives include an 8-inch slicer, an 8-inch chef's knife, a 5-1/4-inch utility knife with a serrated blade, a-5-inch boning knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. The entire set carries a lifetime warranty against defects.
