Stylish and functional 5pc knife block set available in black and espresso. The set includes a hardwood knife block with clear acrylic side panels. The acrylic side panels allow you to easily see and select a knife. The base of the knife block is open so no food particles can accumulate inside of the block which makes it easy to clean. The block design is innovative in that it minimizes the amount of counter space it uses. All knives are Japanese stainless steel full tang forged construction. Each knife has the patented Groovetech blade. The groovetech blade is easy to clean and foods do not stick to it. The set includes an 8" All Purpose Knife, a 6" Chef Knife, a 6" Serrated Utility Knife and a 3.5" Paring Knife. The grooves on the blades create an air channel that pushes the food away from the blade which creates a natural non-stick. The set comes in a beautiful and unique four color gift box. A very unique set. Great for personal use and gift giving
