Sleek, sharp, and striking in appearance, this 16-piece block set of knives from Sabatier’s Superstar collection bring the wisdom of French cutlery to your kitchen. Each blade in the set has been stamped from high-carbon stainless steel, and each knife features full-tang construction (the blade shaft runs all the way down the handle) for durability and control. Sabatier finishes the knives with flared tips and an unusual patented serration—rows of overlapping crescents running the length of the blade. This design creates maximum cutting precision and minimum sticking of food to the blade. Triple riveted for strength, the set’s synthetic black handles have a classically attractive aesthetic. Included in the collection are an 8-inch chef's knife , an 8-inch slicer, a 9-inch bread knife, a 6-inch utility knife, a 5-inch tomato knife, and a 3-1/2-inch parer. Sabatier also includes a 7-inch bayonet fork, a 2-bladed mincer, a pair of kitchen shears, and 6 5-1/2-inch steak knives. Every piece stores tidily in the three-tiered block for ready access and handsome presentation.
