Chicago Cutlery Ellsworth Block Set

The block features an integrated sharpening slot designed to maintain the edge of your knives. Simply slide the blade through the designated slot to hone the edge and keep your knives performing at their best without needing a separate sharpening tool.

No, these knives should be hand washed only. While the high-carbon stainless steel is rust-resistant, the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can damage the handle materials and dull the blades over time.

A full tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, strength, and stability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy in your hand and is less likely to snap at the handle joint during heavy use.

The 26-degree Taper Grind is a specific angle engineered to provide an optimal balance between sharpness and durability. It creates a keen edge that slices easily while remaining robust enough to withstand regular kitchen tasks without chipping.

The block has a total capacity of 13 slots. Depending on which knives from the set you are currently using, you may have extra space to store a few of your own specialized knives.
