This block has all the knives you need to do any job in the kitchen.  The blades are made from German Special Formula Steel, also forged from one piece of steel so durable for a lifetime. In addition the blades are also ice hardened so will stay sharper for a longer period of time. The handles are comfortable and lightweight, a nice option compared to other heavy handle knives.  Lastly you will never have to drag you knives out to be sharpened again, the block does that for you.
