Product Description Lamson cutlery, kitchen tools and trade tools are still handcrafted in Massachusetts by American workers. We are proud to say that after 179 years, Lamson still produces the finest cutlery, kitchen tools and trade tools made in America that aim at nothing short of perfection. Lamson was established in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts in 1837. As one of the oldest cutlery manufacturers in the United States, Lamson has been the choice of home and professional cooks as well as US Presidents for the last 179 years because of its high standard of craftsmanship. These traditions are true today not only in our cutlery and kitchen tools but in our barbeque equipment, TreeSpirit (Handcrafted North American Hardwood Kitchen Utensils and Wood Care Products) and HotSpot ( Professional Grade Silicone Potholders, Trivets, HotHandles) products. Amazon.com If you've still got your knives banging around in the kitchen drawers, it may be time to buy a block set. Storing knives in an oak block like the one included in this LamsonSharp set is convenient, plus it protects knife blades and keeps them from damaging other knives. This block set contains all the essentials: a 3-1/2-inch parer for small tasks, an 8-inch chef's knife for bigger jobs, an 8-inch carver for slicing, and a 6-inch boning knife to cut the leftovers away from the carcass. After the feast is finished, use the 10-inch butcher's steel to re-hone each blade: simply draw the knife blade lightly along the steel at a 20-degree angle. All the knives in this set are hand-forged high-carbon stainless steel (which means they are very sturdy) and honed by hand for a razor-sharp edge. Each blade has a full tang and is secured to its resin-infused wood handle by three brass rivets. This elegant, durable set of knives also makes a great gift for any gourmet. --Jill Marquis
