6-Piece Knife Set with Wood Block, German Stainless Steel

The Aicok 6-piece knife set is five German stainless steel kitchen knives in a hardwood block: an 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch carving knife, 5-inch utility knife and 3.5-inch paring knife. It's a small set that covers everyday prep without a block full of knives you won't use.
