Calphalon self-sharpening cutlery helps you keep your cutlery's edge. Ideal for compact kitchens, this 12-piece knife set comes with a compact storage block that saves space on your counter. Three of the slots have built-in sharpeners to sharpen knives every time you use them.

• 3 slots in 11-slot storage block have integrated ceramic sharpeners to automatically sharpen straight-edge knives: chef's, santoku and paring.
• Every time you pull out a knife or put it back, the blade is sharpened at the correct angle, ensuring peak sharpness for every task.
• For easy identification, each piece features a convenient end cap labeled with the knife's name and size.

• 4 1/2" paring knife
• 5" santoku
• 8" bread knife
• 8" chef's knife
• Six 4 1/2" steak knives
• Kitchen shears

Please note: Storage block is counted as an individual piece.

• 13" diam., 3" high (5" high with lid).
• 6-qt. cap.
• 7 lb. with lid.

Additional Information

• Triple-layer nonstick surface is durable enough to withstand metal whisks, spoons and spatulas.
• Remove the cups to use the all-purpose pan for everyday cooking.
• Textured Sear nonstick interior seals in flavor when browning or searing foods.
• Polished stainless-steel handles are riveted.
• Ergonomically shaped handles offer a secure grip and comfortable lifting.
• Low-profile tempered-glass lid lets you view contents during cooking.
• Dishwasher safe.

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Storage slots with an integrated sharpener automatically sharpen straight-edge blades every time you remove or return knives to the block. There is no need to bear down or apply excessive pressure; the sharpener is designed to work efficiently with your natural motion.
• Do not place serrated-edge knives in the sharpening slots. Sharpen serrated knives at home using a sharpener specifically designed for a serrated blade or have them sharpened by a professional.
