Overview

Not a pared-down starter set, this Cuisinart block holds a full range of forged stainless knives, six steak knives, shears and a honing steel. The handles are textured stainless steel with plain and serrated edges.

A honing steel and steak knives alongside the core kitchen knives mean most jobs and a full table are covered. Dishwasher care is not stated, so hand washing is the safe assumption.

Who it's for

New households and hosts replacing a mixed drawer of knives will use the full range. Cooks who want only a chef knife and a paring knife, or a slim block, should buy fewer pieces.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Honing steel included
  • Six steak knives
  • Forged stainless construction
  • Full range of kitchen knives
Cons
  • Care instructions not listed
  • Large block uses counter space
  • Wood block footprint is sizable
  • Warranty not listed

Performance notes

A honing steel realigns the edge between sharpenings, so plain-edge knives cut cleanly. Forged blades are made from a single piece of steel. Serrated knives grip crusts and tomato skins, and the steak knives cover the table.
