This premium oak magnetic knife block has a special granite base and includes 5 beautiful Kai Shun Classic Series knives and 1 double sharpening stone, to sharpen your knives once you have lost the cut. Each knife in the Shun Classic range has a blade with 32 layers of Damascus steel and a core of hard VG Max steel, making it much sharper than a western knife. The 32 layers of Damascus steel make the knives extremely durable and rust-resistant, ensuring that each knife holds its edge for a long time. When the cut is lost, you can always sharpen it with its whetstone. The layers, which create a unique pattern on each knife, help prevent food from sticking to the side of the blade. The pakka wood handle has a chestnut (or "D") shape that fits perfectly into a right-handed grip. The balance and overall lightness of these knives make this set a great investment, as does the presence of a sharpening stone and a stable magnetic block that protects and displays your 5 knives beautifully. The block can hold up to 8 knives, so there is plenty of space to store existing knives as well. Together with the magnetic oak block, you will find: n. 1 Kai Shun Classic kitchen knife, blade length 8.5 cm. (DM-0716) n. 1 Kai Shun Classic chef's knife, blade length 20 cm.
