Farberware Cutlery Set

The rubberwood block features an integrated EdgeKeeper sharpening system within the slots. Every time you pull a knife out or slide it back into the block, the built-in ceramic sharpener hones the blade edge, keeping it sharp for daily use.

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel blades and the ergonomic handles, we strongly recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.

The set includes an 8-inch chef knife, an 8-inch slicing knife, a 5-inch chef knife with kullens, a 5.5-inch serrated utility knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, six steak knives, and a pair of all-purpose shears.

While the blades are crafted from high-carbon stainless steel, they are not rust-proof. To prevent corrosion, avoid leaving them in standing water and ensure they are thoroughly dried before placing them back into the storage block.

The kullens—the small indentations along the blade—create air pockets between the knife and the food. This helps prevent ingredients like potatoes or cucumbers from sticking to the blade while you slice.

Yes, this is an excellent starter set. It covers all the essential blade shapes required for basic food preparation, and the self-sharpening block removes the guesswork of maintaining a sharp edge, which is often the biggest challenge for new home cooks.
