Chicago Cutlery Insignia 18-Piece Block Set with Built-In Sharpener

Premium versatility for everyday cooking

The Chicago Cutlery Insignia 18-piece block set brings a full range of kitchen blades into one sturdy, elegantly organized collection. Designed for busy kitchens, the set pairs a solid acacia wood block with sharp, durable stainless steel blades that resist staining and corrosion. A built-in sharpener tucked into the block makes it easy to refresh edges between tasks, while the ergonomic handles offer a secure, comfortable grip during longer prep sessions.

Although no two meals are the same, the Insignia design focuses on precision, balance, and reliability. The 26-degree taper grind on every blade is crafted to deliver clean, controlled cuts across meat, vegetables, fruit, and more, helping you maintain speed and accuracy as ingredients move from board to pan.
