It seems like they have thought of everything with this knife block! I love that it look a little different than most block with the slanted top that makes the knives sit in the block very well because they have a slant that makes holding the knife much more comfortable. This set comes with ever knife I need and I love that it has both the chef's knife and santoku. I also love that it comes with steak knives so I didn't have to look around to buy them somewhere else. This is everything I need!
