It includes their trademark self sharpening knife and carving fork and the signature patented knife block. The blades of the knives are riveted in the handles with brass rivets. Each time you pull the knife out and re-insert it there is a sharpener inside the block that automatically keeps the knife sharpened with each use. The handles and hood of the block are sleek rosewood, cut along the grain, and close up images will reveal works of wood art - they really are beautiful. The base of the block is Pakkawood - see description below, which makes it extremely heavy and sturdy.

Pakkawood is a composite material made by laminating thin layers of hardwood with resin, then compressing them under high pressure and heat. This process creates a strong, durable, and water-resistant material that is often used in knife handles, kitchen utensils, and other products requiring high durability. See less
