A great gift for newlyweds or first-apartment dwellers, this set includes three essential knives. An 8-inch chef's knife does it all, while the 3.5-inch paring knife peels, cores and trims, and a 6-inch utility takes on a wide-variety of cutting tasks. Equipped with comfortable D-shaped handles, the razor-sharp knives showcase a stain-resistant Damascus steel "rippled" finish achieved by forging 34 layers of steel on each side of the blades.
