You are bidding on a wonderful 12 piece Oneida stainless knife set with wood block.  This lot includes 6 steak knives that measure 4 1/2", two utility knives that measure3 1/2" and 4 1/4", 8" chef knife, 7 3/4" serrated knife, 5 5/8" slicing knife and 7 3/4" slicing knife.  It is a terrific lot and all of the handles are solidly attached (i.e. - no looseness).  A great set for any kitchen and it has wonderful weight, not light at all. In the knife block, there is an empty hole but not wide enough for a knife so possibly scissors or a knife sharpener would have originally gone in there.  

I use the US Postal Service and use priority mail to ensure quick delivery although size/weight can often be a deterrent due to a balloon fee on boxes over a certain size. Shipping costs are based on weight and distance from my home in Fairhaven, MA. In simplest terms, I ship priority mail unless it is a book (then I ship using media mail) or if the item is bigger than a breadbox or heavier than 5 lbs (unless I can fit it in a flat rate box).   I'm also open to local pick-up at my home in Fairhaven.

I've been selling on Ebay since 1998 but this is not a full time job. I'm happy to answer all questions but please be aware that these questions are normally answered after I have returned home from work. I encourage you to look at my other auctions for a wide variety of items. I often sell glass, pottery, books, art, clothing and other unusual items one may find at yard sales and estate sales. Best of luck in your bidding and thanks for your time looking at my auction.
