Meridian Elite 8 Piece Magnet Block Set

These knives make a wonderful set. The handles have all the appearance of dark ebony, with none of the maintenance overhead (and deterioration) of actual wood. The blades are sharp as a razor and convey the look of high-quality honed steel. The magnetic knife block, while modern looking and handsome display, is less practical when it comes to moving it between counters with exposed blades. I also don't buy the argument that it's more sanitary, as improperly washed knives will still press against the magnetic face of the block. Knife block aside, these are outstanding knives that give every impression of lasting a lifetime.

Kitchen knives that are tools and also art.

That's no moon. That's a Carving Station! Love the 8 piece magnetic block set and added the Meridian Elite 7 Inch Kullenschliff Vegetable Knife to fill in the 8th space.

Haven't opened it yet, its a Christmas present.
