DESC: Take your knife collection to the elite level with one great purchase of the Messermeister Meridian Elite 9 piece Essential Block Set. The block set includes 6 great blades that are used regularly in commercial and residential kitchens, ranging from small to large sizes. The smallest in the block, the 3 1/2 inch paring knife is a great small-sized knife that can be used for peeling, paring and more. The scalloped utility knife is the perfect tool for slicing tomatoes, cutting mozzarella, and chopping basil. For slicing, dicing and chopping loads of fruits and vegetables use the Santoku with granton edge. You can cut and prepare just about anything with the chef's knife but with the addition of 5 other great blades you won't need to. The carving knife is suitable for use on large cuts of meat. Use the bread knife, with scalloped edge for slicing through baguettes, rolls and more. The set includes a 10 inch fine honing steel for keeping blades as sharp as the day they arrive.
