Joseph Joseph Duo 5-Piece Knife Block Set

This is a well-judged first complete set for homes, serviced apartments and office kitchens because each knife has a distinct job and the block keeps the whole set visible and ready. The pinch-grip handles and compact angled storage are the practical advantages. The supplier's 12-month warranty is domestic, so a high-output commercial kitchen should choose individually replaceable professional knives instead.

Use the 3.5-inch paring knife for peeling and fine hand work, the 5-inch Santoku for vegetables and compact chopping, the 6-inch chef's knife for general preparation, the 8-inch carving knife for cooked meats and the 8-inch bread knife for crusty loaves and delicate baked goods. Work on a suitable chopping board, hand wash the knives and dry them immediately. Wipe the block clean with a damp cloth and allow it to dry before replacing the knives.
