As beautiful as it is practical, the Signature knife block has been designed with effortless human interaction in mind. This block comes complete with an integrated ceramic wheel knife sharpener, to keep knives honed and sharp. A magnetic locator in each slot draws the spine of the knife to the block, preventing damage to the cutting edge when inserting or removing the knives. Made from durable matt black ABS with a polished stainless steel collar. Designed in consultation with professional chefs, these multi award winning kitchen knives feature fully forged German DIN 1.4116 stainless steel blades with a full tang for extra strength. The Japanese-style blade edges are hand applied at a 15° angle. The handles are made from tactile DuPont and ergonomically shaped for comfort, balance and to minimise fatigue. Product Highlights: Magnets hold blade away from the block, preventing damage to the cutting edge. Ceramic wheel knife sharpener to maintain the 15° blade edge of Signature knives.
