This 14-piece knife block set is perfect for any at-home chef, thanks to its razor-sharp stainless steel knives. It includes a santoku knife, a chef's knife, a slicing knife, a bread knife, a utility knife, a paring knife, six serrated steak knives, all-purpose shears, a sharpener and a knife block.

Each blade is made of premium imported steel from Japan that boasts a Rockwell hardness of 56 ± 2 HRC and is safe for the dishwasher. They're full tang, which means the steel of the blade extends to the end of the handle. The knives also feature ergonomic handles with increased weight for better balance.

Finally, the knife block features a built-in sharpener, so you can spend more time cooking and less time worrying about dull knives.
