Kuhn Rikon Iced Bamboo Knife Block Set
Five knives with a bamboo and clear block
Editorial review Reviewed 23 October 2026 How we assess products
Kuhn Rikon Iced Bamboo is the bread-focused choice: independent tests found clean cuts through soft and crusty loaves without pulling dough or crushing the bread. The five-knife collection also handled cooked ham and tomatoes precisely, with comfortable, easy-clean handles. Its bamboo-and-clear block needs wiping to avoid watermarks. Choose it for cutting performance and a chef’s knife/Santoku combination; Ninja includes sharpening, while Stellar is a cheaper conventional starter.
