Know before you buy
The knife block features built-in ceramic sharpening slots. Each time you remove or replace a knife, the internal mechanism hones the blade edge to maintain its sharpness automatically.
Yes, these knives are dishwasher safe. However, for the best long-term maintenance and to prevent potential dulling or handle damage, hand washing with mild soap is recommended.
These knives are fully forged, meaning they are crafted from a single piece of steel. This process results in a more durable, balanced, and heavy-duty knife compared to stamped alternatives.
The block has 14 slots designed specifically for the knives included in this set. While other knives may fit, the self-sharpening feature is calibrated specifically for the blades provided in this collection.
No, the self-sharpening slots are designed for the primary prep and chef's knives. The steak knives are stored in the block but do not receive the same automated honing.
This set is backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use.
