The Solution 16-piece block set features a distinctive set of high-quality knives to set your kitchen up right. This set includes an all-rounder 8-inch chef's knife for chopping herbs, slicing meat, and dicing onions, and a 4-inch paring knife for smaller scale jobs, like peeling vegetables and segmenting citrus. This set is all stored in a handsome knife block and features 8 x 4.5-inch steak knives. The self-sharpening block technology automatically sharpens your knives when they are stored or removed to help you maintain the sharpest knives. Fabricated from durable, high-quality stainless steel, Solution's single-piece, stamped blade construction is lighter than forged knives. Along with the full tang, this encourages maximum maneuverability. The ergonomic, traditional triple-rivet knife handles are curved for comfort and balance for fatigue-free cutting.
