Chicago Cutlery® Pro-Hold 14-Piece Dual Knife Block Set

The Chicago Cutlery Pro-Hold set offers excellent cutting performance and versatile block storage. The Pro-Hold knives boast an innovative textured grip that intuitively guides your hand to the optimal position for precise, easy and fast cutting. Then knives also feature a nonstick coating that prevents food from sticking to the blade during use and adds visual appeal. The modern wooden block looks great on the counter top and features a steak knives holder which separates from the block to add convenience when transporting to table. Care and Use: Knife Care: For best results, hand wash your knives with soap and water and dry immediately. Do not put knives in the dishwasher. Dishwasher use may cause nicks on the blade edges. Additionally, the heat and detergent may have a corrosive effect on the knives and damage the handle. Do not cut through bone with knives or use knives to poke, pry or separate frozen foods. Do not use knives as screwdrivers or can openers. This is not their intended purpose and can bend or break the blade or edge. Knife Storage: Sharp knives should never be stored loose in a drawer because contact with hard objects can dull the blade. Many Chicago Cutlery sets are sold with a hardwood block for safe, convenient storage. MAGNASTRIP® storage is another way for convenient and safe storage, saving counter space with a magnetic strip. Chicago Cutlery knives purchased individually are available in blade protectors. The blade protectors help keep the knife sharp and provide safe and convenient storage at home. Sharpening: Sharpeners are not for use on scalloped or serrated edges. For optimum performance, knives should be sharpened after every couple of uses. Use a scouring powder after use to clean and remove metal particles from your sharpening steel. After cleaning the steel, rinse with water, dry it thoroughly and store in a dry place.
