The Cold Steel Kitchen Classics series feature high performance ice tempered, cryo-quenched and precision flat ground 400 series steel blades for exceptional cutting performance. All models in the series come with a razor sharp edge that lasts and lasts, and some have serrated edges uniquely appropriate to the tasks they were designed to do. Our Kitchen Classics are available for purchase as single items, or as a complete set. The set includes an attractive oak counter-top stand, one of each of the knives shown here, and 6 steak knives. NEW FOR 2016! The Kitchen Classics feature a newly re-designed handle to ensure a secure, yet comfortable grip. Featuring a stiff Zy-Ex core on the inside for durability, with a softer, food-safe Kray-Ex exterior for the kind of non-slip grip that must be felt to be appreciated! More comfortable, convenient and secure in hand, and delightfully easy to clean the new and improved Kitchen Classics series is better than ever!My mom, Dr. Myrtle R. Thompson, did 90% of her knife work in the kitchen with one or two paring knives. It was watching her and working along side of her that I got my appreciation for the paring knife. Now, Cold Steel is bringing back their Commercial series paring knife and I couldnt be happier. Its sized to fit even a big mans hand and its two-time injected molded handle gives tremendous traction in the hand as well as comfort when used for hours and hours on end when cutting apricots for carrying or drying. Whats more it makes a dandy overall utility knife as I found out on a prolonged adventure in Alaska! – Lynn Thompson
