Our verdict

A full block that sharpens straight-edge knives every time they are drawn, so edges stay ready without honing. Steak knives and serrated blades get no sharpening.

Overview

A cook who never remembers to hone gets a block with ceramic sharpeners built into its slots, so straight-edge knives are touched up each time they come out. Full-tang, bolstered stainless blades and contoured handles fill out the set.

Built-in sharpening removes the most common reason home knives go dull. The steak knives and serrated pieces sit outside that system, so they will need separate care.

Who it's for

Families and new homeowners get a complete block with eight steak knives and automatic edge care. Hobbyists who maintain their own edges will not need the built-in sharpeners.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Sharpens on every draw
  • Eight steak knives for guests
  • Contoured, comfortable handles
Cons
  • Serrated and steak knives not sharpened
  • Handle is ABS plastic
  • Steel grade not listed

Performance notes

Spring-loaded ceramic rods press lightly against each straight blade as it slides in and out, which restores the edge in small steps. The full tang runs metal through the handle, giving balance and strength for tough cuts. Serrated edges cannot be sharpened by these rods.
