Japanese knife block sets combine traditional craftsmanship with practical storage solutions. These collections typically include essential knives like chef's, santoku, and paring blades housed in wooden or bamboo blocks.
Most sets feature high-carbon stainless steel construction with razor-sharp edges that maintain their keenness longer than western equivalents. The blocks protect blade edges whilst keeping knives organised and accessible. Premium sets often include kitchen shears, honing steel, and utility knives.
Prices range from £50 for entry-level options to £400+ for artisan collections. Block designs vary from minimalist slots to angled displays that showcase Damascus patterns.
