Victorinox Swiss Classic 7-Piece Kitchen Knife Set

From the makers of the original Swiss Army Knife comes this six-piece set of classic kitchen knives. Made from high-carbon stainless steel, they take a good edge and can be easily sharpened if they start to dull. Handles are made from slip-resistant Fibrox for a secure grip, and each is ergonomically shaped with a groove for the index finger to protect your extremities while slicing and dicing. When it’s time to clean up, throw the knives in the dishwasher.

The 8-inch chef’s knife is a cook’s best friend. Great for chopping large quantities of vegetables and herbs, and ripping through large cuts of meat, its shape lends itself to a smooth rocking motion. For smaller jobs, grab the 5-inch utility knife, which is good for trimming fat and cutting small vegetables. The 4.5-inch serrated knife tears through bread and pastries with ease, and the 3.25-inch paring knife makes quick work of tasks that require more precision. And if slicing isn’t your thing, use the kitchen shears. To keep each blade razor sharp, the set includes a sharpening rod. To use it, hold the rod firmly in one hand and draw the blade across it at a slight angle a few times. Then repeat the process on the other side of the blade.
