These are no ordinary knives — they have cutting-edge technology, literally! The black pakkawood handles imported from Spain are laminated for stain-resistance and triple-riveted for strength. The blades, crafted from a single piece of high-carbon ThyssenKrupp German steel, are brutally sharp. The knives are satisfying to hold, with perfect balance for both heavy-duty and delicate cuts. More than 2,000 five-star fans can back that up.

"I bought this set for myself," wrote a happy cook. "In my opinion, serious cooks, need serious knives! Our son loved them while visiting. He is also a serious cook, so we purchased the set for his birthday. He loves it!"

"I love these knives," shared a five-star fan. "They are beautiful, weighted just right, and cut easily through dense meat. And, because the tip is rounded, you can easily butter bread. I also like it that you can't stab yourself accidentally while washing them. I can't wait to use them at my next dinner party. Also, great packaging, that we use for storing them between use."

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
