This comprehensive set has all that a good home cook would need to prepare the most delicious meal. The quality of the Pro line is unquestionable. The steel will hold up for a lifetime. The innovative angled bolster is easy to grip, keeping the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control.

I like this set because it is great for a two cook household. It has two chef-quality working knives - the 8" chef's and the 7" santoku. Both can do just about all the cutting, chopping and slicing you will need. And with the specialty knives and steak knives, you are set. Add a carving set and this becomes the best wedding/housewarming gift ever.

The uniquely angled block is definitely for right-handers. (Get the forward facing block if you are a lefty.)
