When your, um, vintage kitchen tools are no longer cutting it, there’s this sleek set that has pretty much every fundamental utensil a home chef needs: wooden spoon, metal spoon, slotted spoon, slotted spatula, tongs (with a hidden gravity lock—brilliant), an innovative flattened-loop whisk that can stand upright on its own (no more batter splattering about while making Sunday morning pancakes), chef’s knife, paring knife, and serrated six-inch knife. The three Japanese stainless-steel-and-high-carbon knives are cryogenically tempered for enhanced durability (with less long-term maintenance required). As for the FSC-certified walnut block, it has an ingenious hidden magnet to keep the knives upright and safely accessible.

• FSC-certified walnut base with hidden magnet
• Base dimensions: 5"L x 6"W x 9.5"H
