Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pinzon 8-Piece Pakka Wood Knife Set With Glass Block
Customer Review: Beautiful set of knives
Summary: 4 Stars
To be honest the last thing I needed was more knives, but bought two of these sets for gifts next X-mas. After opening them though, they look so great I decided to keep one set for myself. The blades are a bit thicker as pointed out in another review, and the fit, finish, and edge are all very good. In my case the 4 stars (instead of 5) reflects the glass blocks: took both apart (2 screws) to clean the glass, and one (out of 4) end pieces was off center, which I fixed by just reattaching properly after cleaning the glass.
Description of Pinzon 8-Piece Pakka Wood Knife Set With Glass Block
This wide assortment of Pinzon cutlery easily outfits any kitchen and offers high-quality performance and construction. 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.
