Know before you buy
The knife block features built-in ceramic honing wheels in the slots for the fine-edged knives. Every time you remove or replace a knife, the wheels automatically hone the blade to maintain its sharpness.
While the product specifications note they are dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing your knives. High-heat dishwashers and harsh detergents can dull the blades and damage the handle material over time.
Stamped blades are created by cutting the knife shape directly from a sheet of steel. This construction makes the knives lightweight and highly maneuverable, which is ideal for everyday kitchen tasks.
The self-sharpening slots are specifically designed for the knives included in the set that have fine edges. Other tools, such as the kitchen shears, have dedicated non-sharpening slots in the block.
A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and stability, giving you more control while chopping or slicing.
Keep the block clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid submerging the block in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack.
