This sleek set corrals nine essential knives in a minimalist block that showcases the beauty of acacia. We love the way the gorgeously grained, warm-hued wood contrasts with the ultra-modern knives showcasing Global's signature dimpled pattern. Skilled craftspeople stamp, hone, weld and polish the knives by hand, the one-piece stainless steel construction ensuring professional performance and durability. The slip-resistant, ergonomic hollow handles are filled with sand for ideal weight and balance. This compact set fills a slim block with an 8.5-inch bread knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 7-inch nakiri knife, 6.25-inch flexible boning knife, 6-inch serrated utility knife, 5-inch chef's utility knife, 4.25-inch utility knife, kitchen shears and ceramic sharpening rod.
