Robert Welch Signature Knife Block

The sharpener is built directly into the block, featuring a ceramic wheel that hones the blade every time you insert or remove the knife. It is designed to maintain the edge's sharpness with minimal effort, making it ideal for daily upkeep without needing separate tools.

The magnetic slots guide the knives into place, which prevents the blade's cutting edge from scraping against the block's interior. This design protects the sharpness of your blades over time and ensures they are always stored safely.

Yes, these knives are dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the integrity of the forged steel and the sharpness of the Japanese-style edge for as long as possible, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.

The knives are crafted from German DIN 1.4116 stainless steel. This material is widely respected for its excellent balance of corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to hold a sharp edge.

A 15-degree edge is thinner and sharper than the traditional 20-degree angle found on many Western knives. This creates a finer, more precise cut, allowing the blade to glide through ingredients with less resistance.

The block measures 200mm deep by 230mm wide, with a height of 320mm. It is a compact, vertical design intended to maximize storage while keeping your essential knives accessible without crowding your workspace.
