Know before you buy
The block features built-in ceramic sharpening slots specifically designed for the fine-edge knives in this set. Every time you remove or replace a knife, the mechanism hones the blade, ensuring it stays sharp for daily use.
While the set is technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blades and degrade the handle materials over time.
A full-tang design means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides better balance, increased durability, and more control while you are chopping or slicing.
No, the sharpening slots are specifically calibrated for the fine-edge knives in the set. The slots for the serrated steak knives and the kitchen shears do not have sharpening capabilities.
Yes, the blades are crafted from high-quality German stainless steel. This material is chosen for its excellent rust resistance and ability to hold a sharp edge through repeated use.
The set includes a 3.5-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 5-inch hollow edge santoku, 8-inch carving knife, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch chef's knife, and eight 4.5-inch steak knives, plus kitchen shears and the storage block.
