Stored in a hardwood block that is stained black, the six kitchen knives, six steak knives, and kitchen shears in this 14-piece set are always within reach. Though the thin-bladed, lightweight, stamped knives won't suit serious cooks seeking top quality, their blades are made of stainless steel, have durable polypropylene handles permanently bonded to the blades, and are dishwasher-safe. Blade edges have both microserrations and larger serrations and are touted as never needing sharpening. The six kitchen knives include an 8-inch carving knife, an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, a 5-inch utility knife, a 5-inch boning knife, and a 2-3/4-inch paring knife. The six steak knives have 4-1/2-inch blades. The 8-inch kitchen shears adjust for tension. The entire set carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack What's in the Box
