The 7 Piece HASHIRA Knife Block set includes our 6 best selling knives, all housed in an elegant walnut storage block. This knife block features a clear acrylic window at the front which not only allows your knife to be stored safely, but also allows the knife blades to be on  display in the kitchen. GLOBAL knives are made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, specially  developed by GLOBAL as it holds a razor-sharp edge and resists rust,  stains and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, each knife is carefully weighted for optimum performance and balance. Other  unique features include its smooth contours and seamless construction  which eliminates food and dirt traps offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene. 

The acute 15-degree angle cutting edge provides unsurpassed performance and superior edge retention. The name HASHIRA translate to "Pillar" in Japanese as the storage  block resembles a vertical structure which supports the knives. When purchasing any GLOBAL knife block set, we strongly recommend  investing in a ceramic water sharpener or whetstone in order to maintain your knives and keep them razor sharp.
