KitchenAid Classic Block Set

The storage block features a built-in sharpening slot designed to hone the edges of your knives every time you slide them in or out. It is a convenient way to maintain blade sharpness for daily tasks without needing a separate sharpening tool.

While the manufacturer states these knives are dishwasher safe on the top rack, we recommend hand washing them. High heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can dull the blades and degrade the handle material over time.

These knives are crafted from high-carbon Japanese steel. This material is chosen for its ability to hold a sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel, making it ideal for consistent, professional-grade food prep.

The set includes an 8-inch chef knife, an 8-inch slicer, a 5.5-inch serrated utility knife, a 5-inch santoku, a 4.5-inch utility knife, two paring knives (one serrated), six steak knives, and the two-tone storage block.

Yes, the handles are ergonomically designed with a focus on comfort and security. The shape is intended to fit naturally in your hand to reduce fatigue during repetitive tasks like chopping or mincing.
