This 8-piece knife block set features an essential set of high-quality tools to set your kitchen up right. Create garnishes and peel vegetables with the paring knife, achieve precise results in-hand and on a cutting board with the prep knife, and chop herbs, dice onions, and mince garlic with the all-rounder chef’s knife.

The self-sharpening technology boasts built-in ceramic honing wheels that automatically sharpen when knives are stored or removed. This set is completed with kitchen shears and is housed in a handsome 15-slot self-sharpening knife block.

Four Star knives are made of proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for almost 300 years. Combined with ZWILLING’s signature ice-hardening technique, these FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, they will not stain or chip, and they retain their sharpness longer. Precision forged from a single piece of steel, the SIGMAFORGE knives have an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.
