The Schmidt Brothers Artisan 7 Piece Knife Block Set combines Solingen, Germany craftsmanship with Japanese Damascus steel. The set displays’ in a Cork Midtown Universal Storage Block that brings an essence of high-quality, elegant cutlery to your kitchen work-space. The knives sport a coconut resin handle which provides a durable, non-slip grip that gives perfect balance to all 5 knives in the set.
The Knives:
The 8″ bread knife works great as the serrated edges glide easily through your baked loaves without tearing the crust.
The 8″ Chef’s knife takes care of all the heavy work. It handles any meats with width (Brisket, London Broil, Texas Broils and more) with ease and quickness.
The 6″ Hocho knife is great for slicing and dicing as it has a curved edge surface that allows you to create vertical flow while cutting or chopping.
The 5″ Santoku is, by far, my most used knife in the set! While it has a curved edge like the Hocho, it also possesses a more pronounced point that makes it great for probing the skins of fruits and vegetables for half, quarter, and eighth cuts. This may be the best all-around knife I have ever used!
The 3.5″ Paring Knife is a well-balanced knife that handles coring with ease. It doubles as one of our steak knives when we have more than six at the table!
Price: $499.99
The set comes with a dual sharpener that I keep handily in front of the storage block. I have been using the set for over 3 months now and find it delivers a great combination of strength, beauty, and convenience. If it were a woman… I’d marry it! :0)
