Victorinox Swiss Classic Knife Block

Yes, the Swiss Classic collection is designed to be dishwasher safe. However, for the longest blade life and to prevent potential dulling from clattering against other utensils, hand washing is still recommended.

The block is designed with 17 dedicated slots specifically sized for the included knives and tools. It does not feature universal slots, so you should use the designated space for each piece to ensure a proper fit.

The handles are crafted from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which is a durable, rubber-like material. They are ergonomically shaped and textured, providing a secure, non-slip grip that remains comfortable even when your hands are wet.

Yes, the set includes a honing steel. This tool is essential for realigning the blade edge between sharpenings, which helps maintain the knife's sharpness and cutting performance over time.

The hardwood block measures 16 inches wide, 4.5 inches deep, and 11 inches high. It has a relatively slim profile for a 17-piece set, making it a manageable addition to most standard kitchen countertops.

These knives are made from professional-grade stainless steel. This material is specifically chosen for its excellent balance of hardness and corrosion resistance, ensuring the blades stay sharp and rust-free with regular use.
