6 pc Japanese Damascus Steel Knife Set w/ Magnetic Knife Block

The set is forged from Damascus steel, built up in layers and etched to show the characteristic wavy pattern along the blade, and runs to six knives covering the main cutting tasks in a kitchen: chef's knife, bread knife, utility knife and paring knife among them. Storage is a magnetic block, holding each blade by contact against the strip.

Layered Damascus steel takes an edge well and holds it longer than a single-alloy blade of similar price, which is the usual case made for choosing it over a plain stainless set. The magnetic block keeps blades visible and easy to pull out one-handed, and suits a kitchen with limited drawer space more than a traditional block would.
