The Imperial brand is synonymous the world over with quality cutlery. This nine piece kitchen set accurately reflects that stellar reputation.
First, each of the five included knifes are similar in design and graduated in size. They feature easy to grasp molded and brushed stainless steel handles, and stainless steel blades with an eye-popping granite coating that makes them fabulously non-stick. From the meat cleaver to the paring knife, each piece is sharp and sturdy and slices through food with ease Imperial has also included a heavy duty sharpening rod to keep a razor's edge on each piece of cutlery. They didn't just stop with the knives, however, as they've also included a vegetable peeler AND a pair of durable kitchen shears.
To make this set complete, an acrylic stand is provided upon which the knives can be stored and displayed. The stand consists of a tube to house the sharpening rod, a bracket for the kitchen shears and individual acrylic "blade sleeves" for the knives. It is finished at the base in a polished silver-tone that reflects the beauty of the knives.
This set looks AMAZING in my kitchen, as the granite knives match my counters, and the stand makes a wonderful display. Highly recommended set for the professional or casual cook. Note that I received a discount on this set in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
