Calphalon Contemporary Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set with SharpIN Technology, Set of 20

Calphalon's Contemporary Self-Sharpening Cutlery combines top culinary performance and sleek, modern style with ingenious SharpIN Technology. Offering a great variety of knives and sizes, the 20-piece set includes a storage block with built-in ceramic sharpeners in seven of the slots. Whenever you pull out a knife or put it back, the blade is sharpened at the correct angle, ensuring optimal functionality.

• Razor-sharp blades are fully forged from high-carbon, stain-resistant German steel.
• Bolsters and full tangs ensure ideal balance and maximum strength.
• High-impact plastic handles are ergonomically contoured for a secure, comfortable grip.
• For easy identification, each piece features a convenient end cap labeled with the knife's name and size.
• Seven slots in storage block have integrated ceramic sharpeners to automatically sharpen straight-edge knives: paring, boning, 5" and 7" santoku, utility, chef's and slicing.

20-piece set includes:

• 4 1/2" paring knife.
• 5" boning knife.
• 5" santoku.
• 5" tomato/bagel knife.
• 6" fork.
• 6" utility knife.
• 7" santoku.
• 8" bread knife.
• 8" chef's knife.
• 8" slicing knife.
• Eight 4 1/2" steak knives.
• Kitchen shears.
• 19-slot pine storage block with walnut finish.

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

• 8 1/4" diam., 5 3/4" high.
• 4.5-qt. cap.
• 4 lb. 3 oz. with lid.

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.
