Contour 19 Piece Knife Block Set
The Klaus Meyer Contour 19 Piece Knife Block Set brings together a selection of kitchen knives, eight steak knives, kitchen scissors, a sharpening steel, and a solid wood block. It combines tools for preparing ingredients with knives for the dining table, keeping the collection together in one coordinated storage solution.
For everyday food preparation, the set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, an 8-inch carving knife, and a 6-inch utility knife. A 3.5-inch paring knife provides an option for smaller tasks. Three hollow-edge santoku knives, measuring 7 inches, 5.5 inches, and 3 inches, give you additional blade sizes to choose from as you prepare different ingredients.
The eight 4.5-inch steak knives provide a matching selection for serving meals. Kitchen scissors and a sharpening steel round out the included tools, while the solid wood block gives the collection a dedicated place on your counter.
Choose the Contour knife block set if you prefer a coordinated collection rather than purchasing individual knives and separate storage. Its selection spans food preparation and table service, bringing a variety of knife sizes into one set.
FEATURES
Finest Stainless Steel Blade Quality
The finest high carbon steel maintains its sharpness over a long period, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. After unique treatment the blade is less prone to chipping and corrosion, maintaining its functionality and appearance.
Weight Added Stainless Steel Hollow Handle with Contour Curved Handle
The added weight in the handle provides better balance, making the knife easier to control. A contour curved handle with supremely elegant design enhances grip and comfort, reducing hand strain during extended use.
Matte Surface Finish of the Handle
A matte surface on the handle offers a non-slip grip, improving safety and precision in cutting.
53-55 Rockwell Hardness with 15-17 Edge Angle Degree
This level of hardness indicates a good balance between blade flexibility and strength, making it suitable for various cutting tasks. The 15-17 degree edge, deemed as “Golden Angle” of a knife, allows for sharp, precise cuts, enhancing the knife's overall cutting performance.
Oil-Hardened Blades, Remarkably Sharp, Stay Sharper Longer, Highly Corrosion Resistant
Oil quenching heat treatment (Oil hardening) involves heating the knife and then rapidly cooling it in oil. The advantages of this process include preventing prolonged exposure to air, which controls the formation of surface oxidation layers. Oil quenching also results in higher hardness (1-2HRC higher) compared to air cooling in the same temperature range. The oil used in the quenching process covers the blade surface, preventing oxidation and resulting in better toughness and rust resistance compared to conventional heat treatment.
