Review on 🔪 Sabatier Slim-Style Forged Japanese Stainless Steel Small Prep Knife Set: 5-Piece Collection with Bamboo Storage Block - Black by Carri Taylor

This is a wide range of knife styles in a very attractive knife block. This is a particularly good choice for small or cramped kitchens as it takes up little space compared to a traditional knife block. However, once the knives are inserted, the block can tip over if the knives, especially the heaviest ones, are not pulled straight out of the sheath. Of course, the easy-tilting knife block isn't the best, which is a shame because otherwise the block has a cool, clean, modern look. Knives are fairly short, especially santoku and chef's knives, but they're probably the most appropriate size for most kitchen jobs. A serrated knife is good for tomatoes, which it slices brilliantly without crushing, but it's too short for most breads except baguettes. The weight of the knives combined with the curve and thickness of the handles feels comfortable. In the hand with the steel gone, the length of the handle is called the full shank, and that's what you're looking for in a quality knife. The steel in this knife actually extends beyond the full shaft which is a nice design touch and feels more durable than just a full shaft. I'm impressed with everything about this set of knives aside from the block's tendency to tip over. It really isn't good and that's why I can't give this beautiful set a full 5 stars. Let's hope there is an easy way to fix the blockage. A small note on Sabatier knives: Oddly enough, Sabatier is not a knife manufacturer in the sense of Wüstof or Henckels. It's more like "Laguiole" as the name was given to the original French product by the way it was made and not necessarily by the creator of the product. Therefore, the Sabatier name is used by many manufacturers who make knives using the French Sabatier technology.
