Zwilling J. A. Henckels Zwilling Pro Build-A-Block Knife Set, 16 Pieces

This Pro 16-piece knife block set features all the knives you need to set your kitchen up right. From the 3" paring for smaller scale jobs to the all-rounder 8" chef's knife for slicing and dicing, this set contains the key knives for all tasks, along with kitchen shears, a honing steel, and 6 ultra-sharp steak knives. The set comes housed in a handsome hardwood block. Zwilling Pro boasts a unique curved bolster that acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the chopping motion Japanese knives were designed for. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.
