FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the self-sharpening mechanism work?
The hardwood block contains integrated sharpening elements made of tungsten carbide. Each time you insert or remove a knife, the blade passes through these elements, which gently hone and realign the edge to maintain optimal sharpness.
Do I ever need to sharpen these knives manually?
The built-in system is designed to maintain the edge through regular use. However, after several years of heavy use, the blades may eventually benefit from professional sharpening to restore the primary edge angle before continuing with the block's maintenance.
What is the difference between stamped and forged construction?
Stamped knives are cut from a single sheet of steel and are typically lighter and more affordable, while forged knives are hammered from a single piece of heated steel and are generally heavier. Stamped knives offer excellent sharpness and are easier to maintain with the self-sharpening system.
Are the steak knives also self-sharpening?
Yes, all knives in the set, including the six steak knives, are sharpened by the built-in system when stored in the designated slots in the hardwood block.
Is the block itself dishwasher safe?
No, the hardwood block with integrated sharpening elements should never be placed in a dishwasher. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly to maintain the wood and sharpening mechanism.
