About Roman Artistry 6 Piece Set
Roman Artistry 6 is a six piece kitchen knife set with a rotating block. The block turns 360 degrees, so each knife can be reached without moving the base. The block can be taken apart for cleaning and includes an integrated knife sharpener. The blades are made of 50Cr15MoV steel for hardness and corrosion resistance, while the block is made of PP and ABS plastic. The handles are shaped to fit the hand, and the balanced weight supports control during long use. The form and the cream and brown colours refer to Roman columns and classical sculpture.
