Calphalon Self-Sharpening Technology – Does it work?
Product Description
Calphalon claims that your knives will stay sharper for a lifetime with their cutlery featuring ‘SharpIN Technology’. Sharpeners are built right into their blocks and automatically sharpen straight edge knives every time you remove them from the block. These knives are made from high carbon, no stain steel, and feature full tang construction with a tripe riveted handle for a comfortable balance. They also come labeled so you will always know what knife you are pulling out of the block. Another reason why Calphalon Sharpin Technology is a fan favorite.

Design
The best feature of this knife set is the block with the ‘SharpIN Technology’. The block is what helps to keep these knives sharp so that they will cut well for a long time. The knives are made from forged steel and the triple riveted handle fit comfortably in your hand.
Another great feature of this set are the custom labels that are found on each knife, so you know what knife you are pulling out of the block. This is a great feature for a beginner chef.
Performance
This Calphalon set is our ‘Best Buy’ choice for knife sets under $100. It has every knife that you could ever need to precise cuts no matter what you’re cutting, chopping, slicing or dicing. These knives stay sharp so they can perform like the higher end knife sets due to the built in sharpener we keep talking about.
To keep these knives fresh, hand washing and immediate drying are recommended. This will help keep the knives from getting rusty or discolored.

You probably already have a honing rod, and it’s possible you’ve seen professionals use a whetstone, but we won’t be covering either of those here. Instead, we’re concentrating exclusively on finding the best manual and electric knife sharpeners.
Another great addition to the best kitchen knives is the new Boning Knife Company product line. The company introduced a collection of chef cutlery in January of 2021. Unlike some chef knife companies that release a new knife just once a year, the Boning Knife Company releases new products every six months.
