We've combined one of our best-priced cutting boards with one of our top of the line kitchen knives for an excellent gift or addition to your kitchen. The butcher block board is 19 x 15-inches and made of a beautiful end grain. It minimizes the impact on your knife which reduces the need for sharpening. The Japanese knife has an overall length of 12-inches and a blade length of 7-inches. It has laminated high-cabron swedish steel core between two layers of low carbon stainless steel with a rockwell hardness of c62. This means it is not likely to rust and will hold an edge beautifully! The handle is multiple layers of wood impregnated with resin and riveted the full lenght.
