Messermeister, Inc. specializes in nothing but the finest German cutlery and accessories. And their new line, the Meridian Elite Trio Set, carries on the tradition. The knives in this great gift set are forged from a solitary piece of blank steel and finished with a comfortable yet traditional handle grip that is riveted to a full tang. The handles are crafted from Polyoxymethaline, making it highly durable and damage-resistant. These knives undergo a complex and painstaking 3-step sharpening process, which gives them the sharpest edges of any forged cutlery. And after all that, the final product is lovingly hand-polished for an impressive presentation. Meridian Elite knives will hold their cutting edge for a long, long time, but also allow you to sharpen the blades when they finally do dull down.

This great holiday gift set includes three knives: an 8' chefs knife, 9' scalloped bread knife, and a 3 ?' paring knife. The value is around $291.00, but look for it to be on sale for $179.99 this season! And if this set is a little too rich for your blood (or your pocketbook), check out Messermeister's other offerings, like Take-Apart Utility Shears for just $16.42 this holiday season.
