Corelle Chicago Cutlery Avondale Block

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the blades and handles, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.

Full tang construction means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides better balance, superior strength, and increased durability compared to knives where the blade only goes partway into the handle.

The wood storage block features a dedicated slot with an integrated sharpening mechanism. You can maintain your knife's edge by simply sliding the blade through the sharpener slot as needed, ensuring your knives stay sharp without needing a separate tool.

The 26-degree taper grind is designed to provide a precise, sharp cutting edge that is durable enough for everyday kitchen tasks. It balances sharpness with edge retention, making it easier to slice through various ingredients cleanly.

Yes, the handles are ergonomically designed with a blend of polymer and stainless steel to provide a secure, comfortable grip. The shape is balanced to accommodate a variety of hand sizes, offering control regardless of your grip style.

This 16-piece set is quite comprehensive, including a chef's knife, utility knife, slicing knife, steak knives, and kitchen shears. It covers the essential cutting tasks for most home cooks, from prepping vegetables to carving roasts.
