Cuisinart Professional Block Knife Set, 15pc - Precise & Lightweight

In this review the Cuisinart Professional Block Knife Set, 15pc proves to be a solid option for home cooks who want a full, ready-to-use cutlery collection without spending a bundle. The bottom line: this set is best for those who value precision cutting and a complete kit that includes sharpening steel, shears and a wooden block. Blades are precision-tapered high-carbon stainless steel that feel sharp out of the box and the ergonomically designed stainless steel handles make repetitive tasks comfortable.

Key Features

• High-carbon stainless steel blades: Deliver clean, accurate cuts and hold a fine edge for everyday food prep when cared for properly.
• Precision-tapered ground edge: The blades narrow to a sharp fine edge, improving slice quality on meats and vegetables.
• Ergonomic stainless steel handles: Provide stability and comfort for prolonged use and give a balanced feel to the knives.
• Comprehensive 15-piece set: Includes chef, slicing, santoku, utility, paring, bird's beak, six steak knives, sharpening steel and shears for nearly all kitchen tasks.
• Wooden storage block: Keeps the collection organized and within easy reach on the countertop.
• Lifetime warranty: Warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for the original purchaser's lifetime under normal home use.

Who It's For

This set suits home cooks who want a complete, ready-to-use collection and appreciate durable, sharp blades for chopping, slicing and carving. The included sharpening steel and shears make it a practical choice for families or anyone replacing a mismatched drawer of knives.

Those who handle very acidic foods frequently or who prefer specialty forged blades may want to consider higher-end or single-piece forged options. Shoppers seeking a variety of handle colors or nonmetal handles should also look elsewhere since this set uses stainless steel handles and a single block finish.

Pros & Cons
