KITA Series 12-Piece HUA Knife Block Set, High Carbon X-7 Damascus Steel, 501790

Stunning and Well-Crafted

My son who works in a restaurant owned by a Michelin Star chef recommended this set when we purchased a new house. They look stunning in our new kitchen as a centerpiece and they are a pleasure to work with, crafted so well. They make you feel like an artist in the kitchen.

The Knives I Always Wanted.

I am by no means a practiced cook or chef, but have for the entirety of my adult life struggled with cheap knives when it came to meal prepping. After using a Kita Series Chef’s knife, I decided to invest in an entire set for myself and I have been absolutely blown away. Starting with the knife block: it’s heavy and solid, not to mention being aesthetically pleasing. The knives themselves are outstanding. Hand-forged X-7 Damascus gives each blade its own unique fingerprint; they hold their edges for longer than expected due to their hardness and yet aren’t brittle like most metals in the same Rockwell range. I was able to slice through large turnips as though they were tomatoes with the Santoku. My only advice is to be very mindful of where your fingers are while using these as they are sharpened to a razor’s edge. Extremely happy with this purchase for the price point, they are well worth the investment for a pro set of knives I expect to last a lifetime.
