These laser sharp, precision-forged knives can practically dissect an apple from their own weight.  With little effort from a top chef like yourself, you can slice through your meal preparations like a culinary ninja.  The Zwilling J.A. Henckels 7-Piece Knife Set is designed with single pieces of Cronidor 30 steel, precisely balanced and set in oiled Makassar ebony handles.  The result goes beyond top chef performance– these knives are a centerpiece in any serious home kitchen, standing out in a brilliant ebony tall-form knife block.  Cut ‘em up, GearCravers… [thanks acquiremag]
