Is the built-in sharpener hard on the blades?

It sharpens each knife as it is pulled from its slot, which keeps edges keen but removes steel over time. Use a honing rod between sharpenings to slow wear.

Are these knives dishwasher safe?

No. Hand washing is recommended to protect the German stainless steel and the wooden block.

What knives are in the set?

The set includes chef's, santoku, slicing, utility and paring knives among its 15 pieces, plus the block with built-in sharpener.

Do the knives have full tangs?

Yes. The blades are forged with full tangs running through the handles.

How does it compare with a set without a sharpener?

You give up nothing in blade steel, and you gain sharpening without a separate tool. The trade-off is that built-in sharpeners are less gentle than manual honing.

About the McCook German Stainless Steel Kitchen Knives Set with Built-in Sharpener and Wooden Block

A 15-piece forged German stainless steel knife set in a walnut and black wooden block with a built-in sharpener. The block sharpens each knife as you pull it out, so the edges stay usable without a separate honing routine. Full-tang forged blades and ergonomic handles put it in the same class as other German-steel block sets, but the built-in sharpener is the feature most rivals lack. It suits cooks who want one complete block and will hand wash their knives.
