Messermeister Meridian Elite 5-Piece Next Level Knife Block Set

Three Essential Solingen Knives and the Steel to Keep Them Sharp

The Messermeister Meridian Elite 5-Piece Next Level Knife Block Set is for cooks who want a small, complete German set: the three knife shapes that handle nearly every daily task, a honing steel to maintain them, and a magnetic block that keeps them in view.

Why It Works

• Thin, acute edge: A flat-ground edge, sharpened to a finer angle than many German knives, gives clean, precise cuts through vegetables and proteins.


• German stainless steel: The Thyssen-Krupp alloy resists stains and corrosion and returns readily to a sharp edge on a steel or stone.


• Full-tang, triple-riveted handle: The tang runs the full length of the handle and is secured by three rivets, for balance and durability.


• Honing steel included: Regular honing keeps the edges aligned between sharpenings, so the knives stay sharp longer.


• Next Level magnetic block: Knives rest against the block’s magnetic faces, where they stay visible and easy to reach.

In the Kitchen

The chef’s knife carries the board work, from dicing onions to slicing chicken breasts. The utility knife handles sandwiches, shallots and cheese, and the paring knife covers peeling and trimming in the hand.
