FAQs
Are these knives dishwasher safe?
No, the Amazon Basics Premium Knife Block Set requires hand washing only. Dishwasher use can damage the blades and handles.
What material are the blades made of?

What does 'full-tang' mean?
Full-tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle, providing better balance, durability, and control.
How do I use the included sharpener?
Refer to the instructions provided with the sharpener. Typically, you will draw the blade through designated slots at a specific angle to hone the edge.

Troubleshooting
Knives are dull
Use the included sharpener to restore the blade's edge. Ensure you are using the correct sharpening angle and technique.
Rust spots appearing on blades
This can occur if knives are left wet or exposed to harsh detergents. Hand wash immediately after use and dry thoroughly. For minor spots, a non-abrasive cleaner may help, but consistent drying is key.
Knife feels loose in the handle
This indicates a potential issue with the full-tang construction. If the looseness is significant or poses a safety risk, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Difficulty inserting knife into block
Ensure the knife is clean and dry. Check for any debris in the knife slot. Do not force the knife; it should slide in smoothly.

Care: These knives are hand wash only. To clean, wash each knife individually with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and corrosion.
