imarku 14-Piece Knife Block Set — Black Block with Built-In Sharpener, Japanese Steel & Full-Tang Handles

The imarku 14-piece knife block set is a complete, professional-style kitchen collection forged from Japanese high-carbon stainless steel and stored in a sleek black FSC-certified wooden block with an integrated sharpener.

This full set brings together chef, santoku, bread, slicing, utility, paring knives, kitchen shears, six steak knives, and a built-in sharpener in a contemporary black block. Each blade is heat-treated and polished for corrosion resistance and long-lasting edge retention, while the full-tang construction and contoured, anti-slip handles are shaped for balanced control during routine meal prep. The block’s FSC-certified wood and attention to finish make it both functional and countertop-worthy.

How sharp and durable are the blades?

Blades are forged from Japanese high-carbon stainless steel and undergo specialized heat treatment to combine hardness with toughness. The factory edge is set to a 15° angle to deliver precise cutting while resisting chipping during regular kitchen use.

• 15° blade geometry for precise slicing and long-lasting sharpness
• Heat-treated high-carbon steel for improved edge retention
• Mirror-polished finish that limits corrosion and reduces drag

What ergonomic features reduce hand fatigue?

Each knife uses full-tang construction and contoured, anti-slip handles to improve balance and comfort, so repetitive tasks feel easier. The handle shape and weight distribution help maintain control whether you’re chopping vegetables or carving meat.

• Full-tang blades for stability and balanced handling
• Contoured handles with anti-slip texture for secure grip
• Optimized balance between blade and handle for reduced wrist strain
