Cuisinart Knife Set

While these knives are technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing them. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blades and degrade the handle finish over time, so hand washing is the best way to maintain their sharpness and longevity.

The set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch slicing knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, a 5.5-inch serrated utility knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, a 3.5-inch bird's beak paring knife, six 4.5-inch steak knives, kitchen shears, a sharpening steel, and the storage block.

Yes, the handles are ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip. Because they are stainless steel, they are easy to clean and maintain, though they may feel slightly different than wood or rubberized handles if your hands are very wet.

The sharpening steel is designed for honing, which realigns the blade's edge rather than removing metal. Using it lightly before or after each use will help keep your knives performing at their best between professional sharpenings.

These knives feature forged construction. This process generally results in a stronger, more durable blade that offers better balance and weight compared to stamped alternatives.
