Knife-Sharpening Storage Blocks

The Calphalon Self-Sharpening Knife Block Ensures Sharp Knives

— May 19, 2016 — Art & Design
Many knife blocks on the market will come with an accessory for keeping knives sharp, but the Calphalon Self-Sharpening Knife Block takes a more upstream approach.

The knife block is designed to sharpen knives every time they are placed in or removed from the block. This allows the knives to always stay sharp and ready for use without ever having to take time to sharpen them. The secret to the knife block's success is in the built-in ceramic sharpeners that allow the blades to be sharpened with precision every time they're slid past it.

The Calphalon Self-Sharpening Knife Block comes complete with a set of knives and can be purchased in various packages to suit different price preferences.
