Astercook 15 Piece German Steel Knife Block Set

This 15 piece set is built around 1.4116 German stainless steel, a common choice for kitchen blades valued for edge retention and resistance to staining. The set includes chef, slicing, santoku, bread, utility, and paring knives, six steak knives, kitchen shears, and a wood block with a built in sharpener slot.

The blades are made from 1.4116 high carbon German stainless steel and finished with a black coating on the steel surface, which the listing states helps prevent oxidation and keeps the knives from rusting over time. The listing also describes a tapered edge grinding process intended to produce a sharp, precise edge that can be resharpened as needed.

The set covers a range of kitchen tasks: an 8 inch chef knife, 8 inch slicing knife, 7 inch santoku, 8 inch serrated bread knife, 5 inch utility knife, 3.5 inch paring knife, six 4.5 inch serrated steak knives, and a kitchen shear. All pieces store in a black hardwood block that has a built in sharpener, so the sharpening slot is part of the block rather than a separate tool.

The listing states the set is dishwasher safe and is covered by what Astercook describes as a lifetime warranty system, though no specific terms or claim process are detailed in the material provided.
