Product Description
The Martha Stewart Lockton 16-Piece Knife Block Set is a well-rounded kitchen cutlery set that blends style and performance, making it a strong choice for home cooks who want both function and a visually appealing countertop display.
What’s in the Box
The set covers every essential knife for daily cooking:
-
8-inch chef knife
-
8-inch bread knife
-
7-inch santoku knife
-
5-inch utility knife
-
3.5-inch paring knife
-
8 steak knives (4.5-inch)
-
1 sharpening rod
-
1 pair of kitchen shears
-
1 acacia wood knife block
Blade Quality
Every knife in the set is forged from high-carbon stainless steel with a full-tang construction, meaning the blade extends through the entire handle for better balance and control. The high carbon content helps the blades resist rust and retain a sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel. Reviewers consistently note that the blades arrive very sharp out of the box and maintain their edge well after weeks of regular use.
Handle and Comfort
The handles are made from ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) with triple-riveted stainless steel rivets, giving them a secure and confident grip during food prep. The ergonomic shape is designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended cooking sessions, which home chefs particularly appreciate. The gold-toned rivets and butt cap carry through the signature Lockton aesthetic consistently across every knife.
Design and Storage
The Linen White & Gold colorway is one of the most visually striking options in the Lockton line, pairing a clean white handle with warm gold accents. The acacia wood knife block has a smooth grain finish, providing a compact yet elegant countertop storage solution. The only design note is that the block does take up moderate counter space, which may be a consideration for smaller kitchens.
