ZWILLING Forged Accent Knife Block

The knife block features built-in ceramic honing wheels located inside the specific slots for fine-edged knives. Every time you slide a knife in or out, the wheels automatically hone the blade to maintain its edge.

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately to prevent corrosion and protect the integrity of the steel.

The self-sharpening slots are designed specifically for the fine-edged knives in the set, such as the chef's and paring knives. The steak knives do not require the same honing mechanism and are stored in their own designated slots.

The forged bolster acts as a transition point between the handle and the blade. It adds weight and balance to the knife, providing better control and safety during heavy-duty cutting tasks.

The block is specifically engineered for the dimensions and self-sharpening requirements of the Forged Accent series. Using other knives may not trigger the honing mechanism correctly and could potentially damage the blades or the block slots.

These knives are crafted from high-quality German stainless steel. This material is chosen for its excellent balance of edge retention, durability, and resistance to rust and staining.
