Chicago Cutlery Insignia Knife Set

Yes, this set is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the sharpness of the blades and the integrity of the handles over time, hand washing with mild detergent is generally recommended for all quality cutlery.

Full tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, strength, and control, making the knives feel sturdy and stable in your hand while you chop or slice.

This 13-piece set does not include a dedicated sharpening tool. You will need to purchase a honing steel or sharpener separately to maintain the edge of your high-carbon stainless steel blades over time.

The Oxford-Brown Rubberwood block is designed to hold all 13 pieces securely. While it has a standard footprint for a knife block, you should ensure you have about 6 to 8 inches of counter depth available to accommodate the block and the handle overhang.

Yes, the handles are ergonomically contoured to fit a variety of hand sizes. The design focuses on providing a secure, precise grip that minimizes fatigue during extended meal prep.

These knives are made from high-carbon stainless steel, which is resistant to rust and stains. That said, it is best practice to avoid soaking them in water for extended periods to ensure the longevity of the metal finish.
