admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:34:44 +0000

Representing WÃ¼sthofâ��s Gourmet series of knives, this block set features less expensive versions of the knives in the manufacturerâ��s Classic series. Knives in the set include an 8-inch cookâ��s knife, an 8-inch carving knife, a 6-1/2-inch santoku, an 8-inch bread knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, a 4-1/4-inch tomato knife, a 4-inch utility knife, a 3-inch paring knife, six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, a 6-inch kitchen fork, kitchen shears, and a 9-inch sharpening steel. Everything fits within the 17-slot rubber-footed oak block. Although the blades are still made of high-carbon steel with a stain-resistant alloy, the difference in the Gourmet series is that the blade is a thinner quality metal and is cut by a precision laser instead of by hand. The blade still has an ideal shape as it is ground and polished by computer to ensure perfect tapering from tip to bolster. Full tangs extend through the synthetic traditional-style handles, which are triple-riveted for strength. These knives are dishwasher-safe but handwashing is recommended to preserve the edges on the blades. The Gourmet series is an excellent alternative for those who want to own quality WÃ¼sthof cutlery but are on a budget. --Cristina VaamondeWhatâ��s in the Box 8-inch cookâ��s knife; 8-inch carving knife; 6-1/2-inch santoku; 8-inch bread knife; 6-inch sandwich knife; 4-1/4-inch tomato knife; 4-inch utility knife; 3-inch paring knife; six 4-1/2-inch steak knives; 6-inch kitchen fork; kitchen shears; 9-inch sharpening steel; oak block.

Shun Elite 7-Piece Knife Set with Block

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:45:05 +0000

This elegant seven-piece Shun Elite knife block set comes gift-boxed and ready to impress the discerning chef. The knives in the set consist of a 3-1/2-inch paring, 4-1/2-inch wide cook's, 8-inch chef's, and 9-inch bread. Also included are a honing steel and pair of kitchen shears, all of which fit with slots leftover in the handsome and very sturdy bamboo block. Each Shun Elite knife features a sleek black handle, made of a hardwood-resin fusion known as PakkaWood, which showcases an inlaid traditional Japanese emblem and fine rings of copper and brass near the bolster. A distinctive flourish, called a "hamon," along the edge of each blade recalls the samurai swords once made in Seki City, Japan, where Shun Elites are handcrafted. Shun Elite knives stand out for their incredible sharpness, sharper even than Shun Classics, thanks to the newest powdered steel alloy known as SG-2. The process used to make SG-2 results in a fine-grained, very dense blend of ingredients that creates a smooth-as-silk knife edge. Shun edges are formed to an unusually keen 16 degree angle, which is one reason they're so prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Japanese cuisine. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Shun Elite knives should be washed and dried--carefully--by hand. Storing the knives in the bamboo block helps protect the fine blades from nicks. --Ann Bieri

Shun knives, made in Japan by KAI (Kershaw Cutlery), are quite possibly the sharpest knives on the market.

Clad with 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel (16 on each side), the blade resists rusting and maintain its razor edge for a considerable time. Prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Asian cuisine, Shun knives are covered by a lifetime warranty and should be washed and dried-carefully-by hand, then stored in the included bamboo block. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box Cutlery set consists of: 3-inch paring; 5-inch utility; 8-inch chef's; 9-inch bread; shears; honing steel; bamboo storage block. 7 items total.

Shun Classic 8-Piece Knife Set with Bamboo Block

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:41:56 +0000

Shun knives are made in Seki City, Japan, where craftsmen have made samurai swords for centuries. This ultra-efficient eight-piece set includes a 4-inch paring knife, 6-inch tomato knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch offset bread knife, and a 6-inch boning knife. Also included are shears for snipping herbs or opening packages, a bamboo block to store and protect the knives, and a sharpening steel. The set makes an unforgettable gift for newlyweds, budding chefs, or anyone who appreciates kitchen tools as beautiful as they are functional and long lasting. Shun knives are made from VG-10 stainless steel, specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is then clad with 16 full layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely-detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade. Like many Asian-style knives, these feature handles that are especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round profile, however, Shun's are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in the hand, providing extra stability and a firm grip. The handles are made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless steel bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. As sturdy as they are lovely, these knives are officially safe to put in the dishwasher--although they're so good-looking you might find yourself hard-pressed to do so. Shun knives are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. --Mary Park

J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 7-Piece Knife Set with Block

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:41:56 +0000

One of the newest premium lines from Zwilling J.A. Henckels, Twin Cuisine was introduced in 2004 with a major revelation: it's the first high-quality forged cutlery line to feature a molded handle with a visible, full-length tang that runs horizontally. In fact, the handle is absolutely stunning, with the shiny tang curving slightly as it courses through the black nonslip polypropylene. With no rivets or gaps, the ergonomic handle provides seamless comfort, while the full tang adds weight for precision balance. The single-piece blade, forged from high-carbon, no-stain steel and strengthened in Henckels's exclusive Friodur ice-hardening process, retains its sharp edge through extensive cutting and chopping. Made in Germany and covered by a lifetime warranty, Twin Cuisine knives are dishwasher-safe but are best cared for when washed and dried by hand. This seven-piece set of Twin Cuisine knives and accessories makes an exceptional starter collection for the aspiring home chef, especially one who appreciates Asian cuisine. For making sushi or sashimi, the 3-inch kudamono parer and 5-inch hollow-edge santoku in the set cut ultra-thin slices of fish and vegetables thanks to their special blades. The 5-inch serrated utility knife works wonders at slicing tomatoes and bread, while the heavy 8-inch chef's knife is a must-have for the chopping, dicing, and mincing needs of any kitchen. Also included in the set are a pair of kitchen shears and a 9-inch sharpening steel for keeping blades perfectly sharp. All the items safely store in the angled, natural-finish hardwood block stamped with the Henckels logo. Four extra slots allow the collection to grow, and larger Henckels Twin Cuisine sets are available as well. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box 7-piece cutlery set consists of: hardwood block; 3-inch kudamono parer; 5-inch hollow-edge santoku; 5-inch serrated utility; 8-inch chef's; kitchen shears; 9-inch sharpening steel.

J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 7-Piece Knife Set with Block

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:39:06 +0000

This set supplies a cook with a variety of cutting edges and a solid hardwood block to store them in. The set consists of an 8-inch chef's knife, a 5-inch hollow-edge santoku, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, and a 3-inch paring knife. A 9-inch sharpening steel keeps their edges in order, and a pair of kitchen shears to snip herbs, flowers, or string is also included. Everything stores neatly in the attractive natural hardwood block. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality knives. That makes Pro S handles heavier and knives less weight-forward. Handles are also smaller, which those with small hands might appreciate. Except for fully forged blades less than 6 inches long, such as the paring and utility knives in this set, the blades and bolsters of Henckels's first-rate cutlery lines are formed by a high-tech welding process that combines three high-carbon, stainless-steel types into what appears to be a single piece so a knife's parts have distinct, desirable characteristics. All pieces in the set carry a lifetime warranty against defects.--Fred Brack From the Manufacturer
