  • 14-piece knife set includes 8-inch chef, 8-inch slicer, 8-inch bread, 6-inch utility, and 3-1/2-inch paring knives

  • Tempered and hardened high carbon steel with tapered ground edge
  • Smooth, contoured handles shaped to ensure a safe, comfortable grip

A good set of knives is just as important as quality cookware. Chefs go crazy over knives, and I can understand why - they become an extension of your hand in the kitchen. My new collection is razor-sharp to get the job done will and fast, and feel comfortable so you won't get fatigued. I love the storage block from acacia wood, a hardwood that has such a rich, warm grain.

Dexter Russell Professional 10 inch Forged Butcher Steel Knife, iCut-Pro Feature

  • magnetized rod for retaining steel dust
  • quality chromed high carbon steel rod
  • soft comfortable Santoprene handle for sure grip
  • easily cleaned
What is iCut-Pro? For chefs who prefer a clean, modern look. Features a solid, durable, molded composite handle with a contemporary design that provides both comfort and control. Stain-free, high-carbon, German steel blade features one-piece forged construction. NSF Certified. How to "Steel" a Knife: 1. Hold the steel firmly in your left hand with the guard positioned to stop the blade should it slip. 2. Hold the knife in your right hand and place on top part of steel as shown. 3. Raise back of blade one-eighth inch. 4. Now, moving the blade only, draw it across the steel in an arching curve, pivoted at your wrist. The blade tip should leave the steel about two-thirds of the way down. 5. Repeat the same action with the Blade on the bottom side of the steel. Always maintain the same pressure and angle on both sides of the steel. 6. Repeat five or six times. When a sharpening steel no longer does the job, it's time to take the knife to a qualified knife sharpener who will place a new edge on it. This, along with use of the sharpening steel, will give you many years of sharp, safe blades. Please note that electric knife sharpeners can be harmful. They have to be used carefully as they remove too much metal, can harm the temper of the blade, and most important can change the factory-applied edge angle. Blades: * Quality, chromed, high-carbon steel rod. * Serrated for quick edge touch-ups. * Magnetized rod for retaining steel dust. Handles: * Soft, comfortable Santoprene handle, for sure grip. * Impervious seal of blade and handle for utmost sanitation and durability. * Easily cleaned.
