Our take on the Cuisinart 12pc Black Stainless Steel Cutlery Block Set

A 12-piece kitchen knife set with black-stained wood handles and a matching black block. It covers the core jobs: chef's, santoku, slicer, utility, paring and six steak knives, plus kitchen shears and a built-in sharpener. The block holds everything in one place, which suits households that want a complete starter set rather than buying knives one at a time. Against premium forged rivals it is lighter and less refined, but it covers more ground than most sets at its level.

Questions and answers

Is this set worth it for a first kitchen?
Yes, if you want one purchase that covers most cutting jobs. It includes the core knives, steak knives, shears and a sharpener, though the blades are lighter than forged sets.
Can the knives go in the dishwasher?
No. Cuisinart lists them as hand wash only. Dishwasher heat and detergent can dull edges and damage the wood handles.
How does it compare with a forged knife set?
Forged knives are heavier and hold an edge longer. This set gives you more pieces and a block for less, which suits casual cooks more than enthusiasts.
What is in the box?
Chef's, santoku, slicer, utility and paring knives, six steak knives, kitchen shears, a sharpener and the block.
Do the steak knives have serrated edges?
Yes, the steak knives are serrated, which helps them cut meat without tearing. The other blades are smooth or fluted as noted.
Is the block sharpener good enough to replace a whetstone?
It is convenient for quick touch-ups but removes more metal than a stone. Use it sparingly and hone or sharpen on a stone for better long-term edges.
