Farberware EdgeKeeper 13-Piece Knife Block Set, Black — Self-Sharpening Ceramic Honing

The Farberware EdgeKeeper 13-piece set is a complete kitchen knife block with built-in ceramic sharpeners that keep blades consistently sharp without separate tools.

This black knife block bundle brings everyday convenience and reliable cutting performance to home kitchens. Farberware’s EdgeKeeper technology integrates ceramic honing rods into primary block slots so the knives are lightly sharpened each time they are withdrawn or returned. The set’s forged high-carbon stainless-steel blades and ergonomic hollow handles combine to deliver balance, edge retention, and a polished look that fits modern and traditional counters alike.

How does the EdgeKeeper system maintain sharpness?

EdgeKeeper places ceramic sharpening elements inside select block slots so that a gentle honing action occurs with normal use. This passive system reduces the frequency of manual sharpening while preserving blade geometry for consistent slicing and chopping.

• Built-in ceramic sharpeners in primary slots for everyday honing
• Honing occurs automatically when inserting or removing knives
• Reduces need for separate sharpening tools and extra steps

What knives are included and what are they best used for?

The 13-piece collection covers most kitchen tasks from prep to table service. It includes full-size chef and slicer blades, versatile utility and paring knives, steak knives, and shears so you have the right tool for different foods and serving situations.

What materials and design features affect performance?

How should I care for these knives to keep them performing?

Farberware recommends hand washing and immediate drying to protect blade edges and handle finishes. Avoid dishwashers and abrasive cleaners to preserve the ceramic sharpening surfaces and stainless-steel blades.

• Wash knives by hand with warm, soapy water and dry immediately
• Do not place knives in the dishwasher to prevent wear and corrosion
• Store each knife in its designated slot to maintain EdgeKeeper action
