J.A. Henckels International Statement Knife Block Set

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the sharpness of the blades and the integrity of the handles, we strongly recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.

Full tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, strength, and durability compared to knives where the blade only goes partway into the handle.

Yes, the 15-slot hardwood block is designed to hold all the included knives, the kitchen shears, and the sharpening steel, ensuring your entire set is organized and accessible.

The hollow edge Santoku features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets. These pockets prevent food from sticking to the blade, allowing for faster and more efficient slicing and chopping.

Since this set includes a sharpening steel, you can use it regularly to hone the edge and keep your knives performing at their best. For long-term maintenance, you may eventually need to use a professional sharpening service or a dedicated knife sharpener.

The traditional triple-riveted handles are designed with an ergonomic shape that offers a secure grip for most hand sizes. The balance provided by the full tang construction makes them easy to maneuver, regardless of your hand size.
