The stamped German stainless Gourmet line has been around forever. Great, lightweight steel, classic & tough 3-rivet handle & new, effective self-sharpening block. Worth it!
I am astonished at how great this knife block is! I didn't know how quickly knives dull so but every time I pull a knife out of this block, it sharpens it, so every knife is as sharp as the first time I used them. The Gourmet line is lightweight and agile which makes it easy to maneuver.
If you are not the type to take care of your edges by regular honing and sharpening, then this set will keep you cutting much longer. the self sharpening block takes the work out of owning good knives.
This is a great option for someone who wants a true German knife that is lighter weight with no maintenance. These knives are made from high quality steel and are stamped to provide a lighter knife.
These knives are made from a single-piece stamped high quality German Special Formula Steel. Each knife has a slot designed to fit specific knife shapes, and each slot is labeled. Gourmet knives are the sharpest stamped knives in the market place, you will not be disappointed.
A self sharpening block is such a great thing to have. This block will keep the factory edge on your knives for as long as you have them! Every time you draw the blade from the block it passes through the special honing wheels and gives you the perfect cutting edge. The Gourmet knives in this block are made from specially formulated steel so they are corrosion resistant. Because they are stamped not forged they will feel light but they have a full tang of steel running through the handle so they feel sturdy.
A great set of knives with everything you need! The self-sharpening block is such an added plus, as no more honing or sharpening to do! Looks beautiful and sleek on the counter. Also space for 4 steak knives of your own.
