Special knives inspired by the sunny hills of Calabria deserve an eye-catching knife block. The round, leather-bound Amici Villa Knife Block can safely and stylishly store up to six knives (with a maximum blade length of 9 inches). The Italian-leather side stitching subtly magnifies the beauty of the Amici series’ characteristic olive wood handles, and the premium beechwood acts as a stable, non-slip base for expertly storing your blades between meals. 

The Villa Knife Block set includes one each of the following:

• Amici 3 ½” Paring Knife
• Amici 5” Serrated Utility Knife
• Amici 7" Hollow Edge Santoku
• Amici 8” Chef's Knife
• Amici 9" Double Serrated Bread Knife
