Zwilling Knife Block Set

The knife block features built-in ceramic honing wheels within the slots for straight-edge knives. Every time you remove or replace a knife, the wheels gently hone the blade edge, maintaining its sharpness automatically so you don't have to manually sharpen them as often.

Yes, these knives are dishwasher safe. However, to preserve the sharpness and finish of the German stainless steel blades over the long term, hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately is still the recommended best practice.

As a 20-piece set, this collection is comprehensive and covers almost every kitchen task. It includes essentials like a chef's knife, paring knife, and utility knife, along with a full set of steak knives and kitchen shears, making it an ideal starter or replacement set for a full kitchen.

The fully forged bolster provides a seamless transition from the handle to the blade. This design adds weight and balance to the knife, giving you better control and stability while chopping or slicing.

The slots in this block are specifically designed to accommodate the knives included in the set, particularly the self-sharpening mechanism. While other knives might fit, they will not benefit from the sharpening feature and may not fit securely, so it is best used with the intended set.

The ash wood block measures 15 inches by 8 inches by 11.25 inches. It has a substantial footprint, so ensure you have enough clearance under your upper cabinets to easily pull the knives out of the block.
