The knives from the Shield series by Taylor's Eye Witness, designed in Sheffield, England, feature a patented R-shaped blade tip. This unique shape allows for nearly all cutting variations of a standard knife while minimizing the risk of serious stabbing injuries. The hollow-ground blades are coated with a corrosion-resistant finish. The curved, hand-contoured soft-grip plastic handle and a chrome-plated bolster help prevent slipping during use. The three-piece set provides a solid basic assortment of common knife types for the kitchen. The set includes a paring knife, a utility knife, and a practical Santoku knife. Dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended.
