On the bench

This comprehensive set equips your counter for every daily prep task and full-table dinners alike. We grind each high-carbon German steel blade to a sharp fifteen-degree edge and coat the metal to resist sticking and rust. Two pairs of kitchen shears and eight steak knives ensure you always have the right edge within reach.

Four things to know

Closer to the steel

Complete twenty-one piece lineupThe hardwood block holds prep knives, boning and cheese blades, two types of shears, and eight serrated steak knives.
German steel with black coatingForged high-carbon steel blades feature a fifteen-degree cutting edge and a protective dark surface that resists rust and sticking.

Comfortable forged gripErgonomic handles feature an extra-wide grip area to provide balanced control and reduce fatigue during long prep sessions.

Use and care

Keep the edge you paid for

At the sink

18 of our 19 listings are marked dishwasher safe. We still wash ours by hand: rack rattle and hot detergent are harder on an edge than a whole month of cutting.

Warm water, a soft sponge, and dry the blade right away. Water spots are cosmetic; standing water is not.

On the board and in the block

Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone and ceramic plates win every argument with an edge.

Store knives in the block or a drawer insert, not loose in a drawer. A few strokes on the honing rod before big prep keeps the edge standing.

Asked at the bench

Before you decide

Can it go in the dishwasher?

The listing marks the set dishwasher safe. We still wash ours by hand: rack rattle and hot detergent wear an edge faster than cutting does.

Where do the knives live?

In the block that comes in the box. Every slot has a home, so nothing rattles loose in a drawer and the edges never touch each other.

How do I keep it sharp?

This set has a sharpener built into the block: a few pulls before big prep and the edge stands back up. No extra gear to buy or store.

Are steak knives part of the count?

Yes: 8 of the 21 pieces are steak knives, so the set covers the table as well as the board.
