Guy Fieri's "Midnight Series" of Ergo Chef knives

We first heard of Guy Fieri's association with Ergo Chef knives in April of 2009. Two months later, the announcement was made that Guy's company, Knuckle Sandwich, designed a set of two knives with Ergo Chef, released in August of 2009 - a chef's knife, "The Big Stick," and utility knife, "The Dragon Dagger."

Since that time, a full line of cutlery has been developed, with rave reviews. First announced at the Home & Housewares show in Chicago, March 2011, the Knuckle Sandwich "Midnight Series," is now available at FoodNetworkStore.com for customers who want an elegant and sleek, all-black handle design, still with Guy's signature logo.


Included in the full set:

8-in. Big Stick Chef's Knife with Crisscross Crusher
4-in. Lil' Guy Paring Knife
5.5-in. Chopper Santoku Knife with Crisscross Crusher
5.5-in. Dragon Dagger Utility Knife
8 Steak House Knives
6.5-in. The Beast Meat Cleaver
10-in. Blade Warrior Sharpening Steel
17-Slot Battle Station Storage Block


Features:
The blades are precision heat-treated to keep a great edge.
Patented ergonomic design is created to be an extension of your hand for natural comfort.
Made of high-carbon German stainless steel for stain resistance.
Full tang and abbreviated bolster adds strength and balance.
