Overview
On a kitchen counter, the acacia wood block holds five stainless knives and kitchen shears and sharpens the blades as they are drawn out. Blades and handles are stainless steel with plain and serrated edges.
A sharpener in the block means the edges get attention with each use, and the sizes cover chopping, slicing, peeling and bread. The construction is listed as forged or stamped, so the exact build is unclear.
Who it's for
People equipping a new kitchen or replacing mismatched knives will use each size. Serious cooks who want a forged chef knife or a bigger block with steak knives should look at a different set.
Pros and cons
- Core knife sizes covered
- Sharpener built into the block
- Acacia wood block
- Stainless steel blades and handles
- No steak knives
- Dishwasher care not listed
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Drawing a blade through the block's sharpener realigns or hones the edge each time it is used, which helps it stay cutting well between proper sharpenings. Stainless handles are one piece with the blade, so balance depends on the knife. The serrated utility knife handles bread and tomatoes.
