What Customers Ask About This Product
What knives are included?
A 22cm carving knife, 22cm bread knife, 18cm chef's knife, 14cm santoku knife, 14cm kitchen knife, and 9cm paring knife.
Can I use this block with other knife brands?
No, the Angle Knife Block is designed only for Robert Welch kitchen knives.
Is it dishwasher safe?
No, knives should never go in the dishwasher, since the chemicals can break down the handle and the blades chip easily and blunt quicker.
Can I tilt or carry the block with knives in it?
No, take care not to tilt the block, and remove all knives before moving it.
In our experience...
Upright, angled storage solves a genuine visibility problem. Seeing every knife clearly at a glance means less time hunting for the right blade compared with a traditional slotted block.
This block is deliberately brand-specific. It's designed only for Robert Welch kitchen knives, so it's not a universal storage solution for a mixed knife collection.
Professional knives are built with a different hand feel to Signature. Being slightly larger and heavier suits cooks who prefer more heft and momentum in a blade, rather than a lighter touch.
The oak block needs different care to the knives it holds. Regular treatment with food-safe mineral oil keeps the wood in condition, quite different from the knives' own handwash routine.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Unbox and remove all packaging and labels.
Washing the knives: Never put kitchen knives in the dishwasher. The chemicals can break down the handle, and the blades can chip easily and blunt quicker. Rinse to remove food traces, then wash gently in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. No need to soak. Dry each knife thoroughly and individually, and apply a non-abrasive metal polish for the best finish.
Chopping boards: Use wood or soft plastic boards to keep the blades sharp for longest. Avoid glass, stone, metal or very hard bamboo, which can dull or damage the edge.
Caring for the oak block: Wipe over with a damp microfibre cloth and dry thoroughly for a quick clean. Treat regularly with a food-safe mineral oil to maintain condition, wiping off excess oil and letting it dry before using.
Water sharpening (best): Remove the clear guide, fill the recess under the ceramic wheel with water, and replace the guide. Hold the sharpener firmly on a flat surface, align the blade within the guide, and slide it back and forth through the ceramic wheel 10 to 20 times from heel to tip with light pressure. Rinse and dry the knife thoroughly. Sharpen roughly twice a month to maintain the edge.
Dry sharpening (quick): Follow the same steps as water sharpening, without adding water to the recess.
Cleaning the sharpener: Lift the clear guard off periodically and wipe inside with a damp microfibre cloth, then dry thoroughly before replacing. The ceramic wheel can be removed and washed in the dishwasher to prevent sharpener dust building up. Replace the ceramic wheel every 12 to 24 months, depending on use, to maintain cutting performance.
