About this product
The Kuhn Rikon Colori+ Mixed Knife Set offers a versatile addition to any kitchen, combining functionality with a modern aesthetic. This 4-piece set includes a universal knife, a Santoku knife, a chef’s knife and a bread knife, alongside a practical Vision Block that allows you to easily locate your chosen blade at a glance. The knives feature an ultra-sharp, hand-ground Japanese stainless steel blade meticulously manufactured for durability and performance.
Each knife is constructed with a cutting surface specifically designed to resist rust, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance. An anti-stick silicone coating reduces the adherence of food to the blades, simplifying cleaning. Non-slip grips are incorporated into the handles to ensure maximum safety during use. These knives are dishwasher safe but hand washing is recommended for optimal blade care.
The set includes a robust knife block crafted from acrylic and stamped with a grey finish. The knives themselves have a serrated blade edge and a total length of 18 centimetres, measuring approximately 18 x 9 x 22 centimetres and weighing 830 grams. This set is suitable for both novice cooks and experienced home chefs looking to streamline their preparation tasks.
Please note that this is a 4-piece set rather than a full 7-piece block set and includes a Vision Block showing the knives at a glance. The knives are supplied with blade covers.
