Slitzer, Quality Priced Right

The best "friend" that you can have in the kitchen is a good sharp knife.  You are much likelier to accidently cut yourself with a dull knife than with a sharp one.  A good knife should fit comfortably and securely in your hand, provide you with ease of motion and let you get through your task quickly and easily.  At Village Kitchenware, we are pleased to offer a variety of quality cutlery sets from Slitzer that include useful knives at a reasonable price.

A good basic set is the Slitzer 5-Piece Cutlery Knife Set.  These knives feature full tang construction with three rivets.  For those of you unfamiliar with this terminology, the tang of the knife is the portion of the blade which runs into the handle.  A full tang knife is one in which the blade runs from tip to bottom, making it very strong.  The riveted phenolic handles provide a comfortable grip.  The set includes a Santoku knife (great for chopping and dicing), a ham/bread knife, utility knife, paring knife and meat fork.

If you are looking for a little more extensive set that also includes steak knives, the Slitzer 17-Piece Cutlery Set is a wise choice.  These knives also feature full tang, triple rivet construction.  They have durable laymar handles and are dishwasher safe.  Included are eight steak knives, a sharpener, kitchen shears, two paring knives, carving knife, chef's knife, boning knife, and a ham/bread knife.  They all fit neatly into a storage case that can be cut in two sections and will fit neatly in most kitchen drawers.

For professional chefs or people who love to do a lot of cooking, the Slitzer 22-Piece Professional Chef's Set is ideal.  Each knife has been ergonomically designed for balance, all include full tang, triple rivet construction.  The stainless steel blades have a satin polish that resists corrosion and pitting.  The set includes almost any type of kitchen knife you could want along with fine tools such as a lemon zester, melon baller, decorating scooper and more.  Everything stores neatly in a heavy-duty aluminum case.
