The Henckels International Definition Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set is a brilliant design that offers premium stamped steel construction and the added convenience of a self sharpening system, all at a great price. The Henckels International Definition series is precision stamped from a single piece of quality high-carbon, no stain steel. The knives transition seamlessly from full tang to blade and are permanently fitted with contoured black triple-riveted handles. Each piece (available in 7-piece, 14-piece and 20-piece sets) is intelligently selected for optimum versatility that you can cook with for a lifetime.
Handsome storage blocks are tailor-made for Henckels International knives and include a dark stained ash wood base and stainless steel cap. Each slot is labeled for proper knife placement, and fitted with a self-sharpening system that hones edges every time a knife is removed from or placed back into its slot. Again, the exception here is for serrated edges, which are designed to not need sharpening through many years of use. Henckels International Classic Self-Sharpening Knife Block Sets are fully guaranteed against defects in materials and / or craftsmanship.

The Wusthof Classic Hollow Ground Santoku is a versatile, all-purpose blade that is prized for the precise way in which it cuts. The deep blade glides through foods, and holds a straight line as it chops and slices through vegetables and raw or cooked boneless proteins. The Granton edge design enhances performance by creating air pockets that reduce drag and water adhesion, so slices are cleaner and less food sticks to the blade. Wusthof's Hollow Ground Santoku is unique to the Classic series because the blade is ground thinner and the edge is created with a scant 10° bevel per side. This makes for a very fine, razor sharp edge. The cutting performance is perfectly suited to most fruit, vegetable and boneless protein prep, but care should be taken with hard winter squashes and the blade is not recommended for cutting frozen foods or bones. The Wusthof Classic Hollow Ground Santoku carries a lifetime warranty. Hand wash only.

Features of the Wusthof Classic Hollow Ground Santoku include:

• Forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength
• Super-sharp 10° per-side edge
• Abbreviated bolster and full tang
• Entire edge of blade can be used for optimal performance
• Perfectly balanced, thin ground blade for effortless cutting
• Triple riveted, traditional handle is durable, strong, and comfortable
• Wusthof's Precision Edge Technology for Long-lasting extreme sharpness
• Manufacturer's lifetime limited warranty

The Le Creuset 6.75 Quart Wide Round Oven has a wider and squater shape than the standard dimension Dutch Oven, which has a significant effect on functionality. First off, the wider shape results in a lighter pan compared to a similar capactity standard Dutch Oven, and it's lower and easier to get in and out of the oven. But the pan also offers more surface area for browning and searing, or caramelizing quickly- which also translates to faster reduction times when you need it. Le Creuset's perfectly executed lids lock in moisture, allowing just the right amount of venting. The Wide Round Dutch Oven is still ideal for stewing, braising, frying, poaching or even roasting and baking breads; and like all Le Creuset Signature pieces, it is a highly durable pot that will last for many years of fine cooking. The 6.75 Qt. Wide Oval Oven is backed by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty and is dishwasher safe. Made in France.
