Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pinzon 8-Piece Pakka Wood Knife Set With Glass Block
Customer Review: Nice enough knife block, but read reviews & beware!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is almost comical, really. I was looking for a knife block and only a couple of new knives. So after reading all the reviews of this set, and not finding any other knife blocks with this unusual design - except at a much higher price - I decided that I would buy this just for the knife block. Another thing that I thought would be worth keeping, however, was the honing steel. Well, guess what? It doesn't even fit into its little space! The diameter of the slot is just slightly smaller than it needs to be, so the steel sticks up at least 2 inches higher than it should, instead of fitting in all the way up to the handle!! I just had to laugh, since I went into this knowing pretty much what I was getting. It's certainly fixable, but I just had to share this.

The sleek set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife, 6-inch boning knife, 5-inch utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, 8-inch slicer, sharpener, and storage block.All of the Pinzon blades in this set are constructed of high-carbon, stainless-steel and have been forged from one piece of metal, then ground and polished for maximum strength and stain-resistance. They boast a full tang, which is triple-riveted to pakka wood handles that are both ergonomic and hygienic. Pakka wood, a treated hardwood, gives each handle a unique color and grain structure. Each knife also features a bolster, the thick junction between the handle and the knife blade, to protect knuckles and provide a counter-balance for better control. The two-tiered block, constructed of glass and rosewood, displays the set beautifully. Hand-washing is highly recommended. Pinzon cutlery is made in China.
