KitchenAid Gourmet 11-Piece Knife Set with Block

The KitchenAid Gourmet 11-piece knife set brings together a practical selection of kitchen knives for everyday food preparation, housed in a birchwood block with a built-in sharpening rod. The set covers the core cutting tasks most kitchen environments demand — breaking down meat, slicing bread, chopping vegetables, and detailed prep work — without the clutter of specialist knives that rarely see use.

The blades are forged from high-carbon Japanese steel, semi-polished, hardened, and tempered to hold an edge through regular use. Triple-riveted handles are ergonomically shaped to sit comfortably in the hand over extended prep sessions, which matters when a set like this is being used shift after shift rather than occasionally at home. The integrated sharpener in the block encourages honing as a habit, which goes a long way towards maintaining cutting performance between professional sharpenings.

Practically, the set offers:

• A full-size chef's knife and bread knife for primary cutting tasks
• A santoku for finer chopping and slicing work
• A paring knife for detailed preparation
• Six steak knives suitable for front-of-house table service
• A pair of utility shears for herbs, packaging, and general use

The knives are dishwasher safe, though hand washing and immediate drying will extend edge life and protect the handles over time — worth factoring into kitchen cleaning routines.

This set is well suited to smaller catering operations, prep kitchens, or hospitality environments that need a reliable, consistent knife block for daily use rather than a collection of individually specified professional blades. For higher-volume or more specialised cutting work, a professional knife range may be more appropriate.

If you are putting together a smallwares order or are unsure whether this set meets your specific prep requirements, the team is happy to help you work through it.
