Zwilling Knife Block Set

The block features built-in ceramic sharpening stones in the slots for fine-edge knives. Every time you remove or replace a knife, the blade is honed automatically, ensuring your edges stay sharp without needing a separate sharpening tool.

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. We strongly recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately to protect the integrity of the German stainless steel blades and the ergonomic handles.

The slots are labeled for specific knife types to ensure proper storage and safety. Because the self-sharpening mechanism is built into specific slots, it is best to keep each knife in its designated place.

The forged bolster acts as a transition point between the handle and the blade. It provides essential balance, adds durability, and acts as a finger guard to help prevent your hand from slipping toward the blade during use.

Yes, this is a comprehensive 20-piece collection. It covers all the essentials, including a chef's knife, paring knife, and bread knife, while also providing specialty tools like a boning knife, Santoku, steak knives, and kitchen shears.

The block measures 14.9 inches high, 5.98 inches wide, and 18.12 inches deep. Given its footprint and weight of over 17 pounds, it is a substantial piece, so ensure you have enough clearance under your upper cabinets before placing it.
