An espresso-stained wood base houses this handsome Chicago Cutlery Avondale 16-Piece Block Set. It has everything you need to cut any type of food. Use this cutlery block set for thick meats like steak, hard-skinned fruits, baked goods like bread and smaller fruits. It's handy for opening up packaging and more with the shears. The forged construction offers a nice balance and weight for better control. Keep all pieces super sharp with the sharpening steel that's included. A 25-degree taper grind keeps them keen and precise during use, and the high-quality stainless steel resists corrosion and pitting. This Chicago Cutlery knife block makes a thoughtful gift idea for a birthday, holiday, housewarming party and any other occasion.
