Calphalon Premier Knife Set

The hardwood storage block features built-in ceramic sharpeners in the slots for straight-edge knives. Every time you pull a knife out or slide it back in, the sharpener automatically hones the blade, keeping your edges razor-sharp without needing extra tools.

No, these knives should be hand washed only. Dishwashers can dull the blades and damage the handle materials over time, so washing them by hand with mild soap is the best way to maintain their longevity.

Full-tang construction means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, strength, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand while you chop or slice.

While the high-carbon stainless steel is durable, these knives are not specifically treated to be rust or stain resistant. To prevent spotting or corrosion, it is important to dry the blades immediately after washing them rather than letting them air dry.

The blades are ground to a 24-degree edge angle. This angle is designed to provide a balance between sharpness and edge retention, making the knives versatile enough for a wide range of everyday kitchen tasks.

Yes, the hardwood block is specifically designed to accommodate all 15 pieces in the set, including the shears. It has a capacity for up to 13 blades, ensuring you have a dedicated, organized spot for every tool.
