I am loving these knives! They cut through everything like butter. I love that they’re self sharpening! The color is nice and classy and the holder isn’t big and bulky. Very happy with these! It is a smaller set but meets the needs for me and my family.

I am so thrilled with these knives. I dread sharpening knives and every time I do they seem to dull quickly. With this set you don’t have to worryabout that. The self sharpening is so convenient and I no longer have to worry about them being dull. I would highly recommend them.

This is the most well made, impressive knife set I’ve ever used. The knives have a good weight to them, they feel so strong and durable. They’re unbelievably sharp, of course. Sliced right through vegetables with ease. I really like the way the handles are easy to hold as well. What craftsmanship! Such a beautiful set! They display nicely in your kitchen, too.

I love that it’s non stick. Every piece is very sharp.I’ve used it to cut steak and chicken it cuts very easily’ This is a very good set and makes the kitchen look very nice! Highly recommended

As soon as people see this knife set I get compliments. I worry about my knives going dull but that’s no longer an issue. The storage block really does keep them nice and sharp. The block sets right on my counter without taking up a ton of space and put my set right where I need them.

This Calphalon Contemporary Self Sharpening Nonstick 13 piece set is perfect for any home. The set looks great and will complement any kitchen. The knives have stayed sharp for several weeks and they glide through meat, veggies and crusty bread. We’ve enjoyed using them and the labels are very handy for the amateur cook. I am happy to have a set both look good and work like advertised!

Knives have a solid feel and seem to hold their edge

I love the Calphalon brand, so I was excited about this knife set. Unpacking: Opening the box, everything was packaged carefully and individually wrapped to ensure that you won’t get cut by any of the blades. There was no warranty information, product registration, or information on the care of the knives in the box however. I had to look up all that information on the company website. The knife block is a beautiful solid dark wood. There are only 4 self sharpening knife spots since the other knives are serrated. The blades are easily sharpened just by pulling them out of their respective slots. Unfortunately, 3 of the 4 straight edge knives were not perfect and had tiny nicks on the edge. So they needed to be sharpened first before using. The labels at the butt end of the handles are easy to read and identify each knife type, except for the steak knives.Using the knives: The knives have some weight to them, but feel quite balanced in your hand. The 8″ slicer knife was great when slicing up cucumbers and tomatoes. I’ve never been able to slice cucumbers so thin using a knife! The 7″ santoku knife was great for cubing some cheddar cheese. There was little residue left on the knife and cleaning was easy due to the non-stick coating. The 3.5″ paring knife cuts through a lime like butter! This is great set of knives!

This knife set is ingenious. I appreciate that it includes every knife I might need (and some that I’d never heard of before) in a block that cares for them more regularly and efficiently than I ever could. Aside from the fantastic assortment of cutlery, the set in its entirety is elegant and sophisticated. In the past I hid my knife block in a cabinet. Not anymore. I am not exaggerating when I say this is a stunner. It looks and feels like I have all the tools of a professional kitchen at home. And seriously, the built in sharpener is practical, functional and I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. Brilliant!

Gotta love a new set of kitchen knives! Honestly, I’m clumsy, and sliced my thumb the first time I chopped lettuce! I love all the different options and spot for the scissors. My kids always misplace scissors! I would buy again!

I got my Calphalon Contemporary Self Sharpening Nonstick 13 piece set two weeks ago. I must say I am very Impressed with the quality of these Knives. They are super sharp. They cut through everything with ease. And each time you remove a knife you are sharpening the blade. The block is a great addition to my kitchen.

I love this knife set!! All of these knives in this set including the cutting shears are all very sharp as knives should be. I love the finish, style and feel of all the knives in my hand. Very easy to cut no matter which knife you use for what. Also goes great with my kitchen colors/style!! Love that this set also has the self sharpening within the block itself to keep your knives sharp and cutting great!!

These knives are truly amazing! I especially like the self-sharpening knife block. I also like having the knives labeled.
Theresa Hammes (verified owner) –
I love that the knives are labeled on the handle (bread, paring, etc…) and that the knife block is self sharpening. The wood finish goes with any decor, and the weight of the knives is nice and heavy. They are very sharp right out of the box.

I spend most days cooking or baking homemade meals and desserts for my family. I had been using the same set of German knives for 7 years. I recently decided to update my cutlery for the Calphalon Contemporary Self Sharpening Nonstick 13 piece set and was very pleasantly surprised!! The set comes with the following knives; 8” bread, 8” chef, 8” slider, 3” parer, 7” santoku, 6 steak knives and a beautiful set of scissors! I love how the slots have individual sharpeners in them so the knives get sharpened every time the knives are put back in the block! The first knife I used was the paring knife and wow, it was like using a warm knife on a stick of butter! I didn’t have to use much force for the knife to cut up my green onion, Visalia onion, tomatoes, black olives, celery, etc.! Of course I had the same amazing experience with the other knives cutting through different foods from soft to hard! I washed this set in my dishwasher with no problems. This Calphalon Contemporary Self Sharpening set is gorgeous to look at, functional for basically everything you need a knife for, cleans up beautifully and there was no food left behind on the blades. I can see this set being the perfect wedding, birthday, house warming or Christmas gift!! My husband and I both love it so much! The whole block set really accents my kitchen and modernizes it so much more! Love and recommend this gorgeous cutlery set!

Our last set of knives were a wedding gift nearly 20 years ago. The shafts were cracking and blades were dull so I decided it was time for an update. These knives are so light, so sharp and have amazing grips! Prepping food has become fun again and takes little time. With the built in sharpener, I won’t have to worry about them getting dull and it is safer for my family to use. My kids even know which one I tell them I need because they are labeled. Plus, they look so classy in the stand!

This knife set has a built in knife sharpener, which is a nice feature, but I think you’d have to apply more pressure for it to work effectively. I love the assortment of knives provided in this set. They are just the ones you need so none of them go to waste. The knives cut and chop well. The weight of the knives are also ideal and are easy to clean. I recommend!

With the aid of this impressive, high quality cutlery set by Calphalon, I am able to tackle a variety of food preparation tasks with relative ease and confidence. The 13 piece set consists of an 8” Chef’s Knife, 7” Santoku, 8” Bread Knife, 8” Slicer, 3.5” Paring Knife, Kitchen Shears(with a built in nut cracker and bottle opener), 6 piece Steak Knife Set, and a Knife Block. The elegant and sleek space saving block is made of stained maple wood and has built-in ceramic sharpeners. I highly appreciate that the block doesn’t take up too much counter space, and that the straight edge knives are automatically sharpened every time they are removed or placed back into the block. Additionally, I appreciate that the knives have labeled handles which makes for easy identification, and that they have nonstick coating(not the steak knives), which prevents food from sticking to the knife. The knives(with the notable exception of the steak knives), are made from premium high-carbon, no-stain German steel. Each knife is durable, stylish, well balanced and constructed, with good edge retention and toughness. All the blades are very sharp and sturdy. They have offered me excellent and effective cutting power for chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing all types of vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meats and fish. Moreover, each contoured piece fits nicely into the curve of my hand, providing me with a comfortable and secure grip. I find each knife easy to hold, handle, balance and control. I especially like the Santoku, which enabled me to make very thin and straight uniform cuts with precision and accuracy for my “Labor Day Party” veggie platter. The only minor quibbles that I have with this cutlery set, is that I wish the bread knife was a little longer, and that the steak knives not have such large serrations, which tend to shred the meat. Overall, this is a sleek, solid, sturdy and stylish contemporary cutlery set containing all the essentials for the home cook.
