Typically a set of kitchen knives in a wooden box is given as a gift. The only drawback to the big box set is portability, especially if there are only a couple of knives in the set that are used on a daily basis or if you are in need of a better quality than the ones you got from "Aunt Mary". If you are looking for that special everyday knife then the K4 Series is what you need. With its 4" blade, it is easy to handle and manuver. The Hocho style blades are approximately 1 1/2 wide and 1.5mm thick. They are skillfully flat ground from top to bottom and then honed to a very thin, astonishingly sharp edge, combine that with the continuous curve on the blade and wide thin cross section and youve got a blade thats unparalleled for cutting and shearing power. Now you can slice tomatoes wafer thin and cut through vegetables and meat with virtually no resistance.
