The ingenious Crosstown knife series from Schmidt Brothers utilizes two full tangs instead of one to distribute force evenly and reduce pressure needed to slice tough ingredients. The double-tang design also brings dynamic detail to the knives in this set, finishing each black ergonomic handle with a sleek X of intersecting stainless steel. The black-stained wooden block protects the ultra-sharp blades when not in use. This 15-piece knife block set includes a 4-inch paring knife, 5-inch utility knife, 6-inch serrated tomato knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 9-inch bread knife and six 4.5-inch steak knives, come-apart kitchen shears, two-stage sharpener and block with magnetic knife rest.
