The Cold Steel Kitchen Classics series feature high performance ice tempered, cryo-quenched and precision flat ground 400 series steel blades for exceptional cutting performance. All models in the series come with a razor sharp edge that lasts and lasts, and some have serrated edges uniquely appropriate to the tasks they were designed to do. Our Kitchen Classics are available for purchase as single items, or as a complete set. The set includes an attractive oak counter-top stand, one of each of the knives shown here, and 6 steak knives. NEW FOR 2016! The Kitchen Classics feature a newly re-designed handle to ensure a secure, yet comfortable grip. Featuring a stiff Zy-Ex core on the inside for durability, with a softer, food-safe Kray-Ex exterior for the kind of non-slip grip that must be felt to be appreciated! More comfortable, convenient and secure in hand, and delightfully easy to clean the new and improved Kitchen Classics series is better than ever!
