The Hikaeme In Drawer Cutlery Set includes 5 bestselling knives all house in a beechwood storage unit. This beechwood unit includes markings near the handle to help easily identify each blade and includes a finger pull to easily remove the set from the drawer. GLOBAL knives are made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, specially developed by GLOBAL as it holds a razor-sharp edge longer than any other steel 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 Hikaeme translates to "discreet" in Japanese as the knives are hidden in the drawer, allowing more bench space for prep work. 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.
