Mixed materials make for a sleek knife block set that suits contemporary kitchens. Entirely crafted of stainless steel, the knives boast forged, full-tang blades. A clean, minimalist design, this seven piece set includes an 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife and 4-inch paring knife. The six knives fit in the slender, dynamically angled black wood block that occupies only a sliver of precious counter space.
