Case Kitchen Cutlery

Case's Household Cutlery collection covers every task at the cutting board: a full-tang Chef's Knife for everyday prep, a Santoku for dicing and mincing, a Boning Knife for working close to the joint, and dedicated Bread, Slicing, Tomato, and Paring knives sized for the job. Each piece carries a solid walnut handle with a full tang and 3-rivet construction, built in the USA.

At Knifeworks, you're buying from an authorized Case dealer: every piece in this lineup uses Case's Tru-Sharp stainless steel, the same edge-holding formula Case puts in its pocket knives, and carries a Limited Lifetime Manufacturer's Warranty. Case's household cutlery line was part of the company's standard catalog until 1994 and returned in 2011 as the block set this individual lineup is built from.

Buy knives individually to fill gaps in a set you already own, pick up the 4-Piece Steak Knife Set in Natural Bone for the table, or get the full 9-Piece Block Set and start from scratch. A sharpening rod and a 10" steel keep every edge in the lineup maintained.

Which blade do I actually need first?If you're buying one knife, start with the 8" Chef's Knife — it handles the large majority of everyday prep. Add a paring knife next for detail work, then a bread or slicing knife once you're ready to round out the set.

The Case Kitchen Cutlery Buyer's Guide (2026)

How to pick the right blade for the task, and how the collection's handle materials and sets compare.

Case Household Cutlery: Back in the Lineup Since 2011+

Household and professional cutlery were part of W.R. Case & Sons' standard product line until 1994. Case brought it back in 2011 with a Household Cutlery block set, which proved popular enough that the individual pieces are now sold on their own.

Every knife in the lineup uses the same full-tang, 3-rivet construction and Tru-Sharp stainless steel blade as Case's pocket knives, built at the company's USA facilities.

Individual Knives vs. the 9-Piece Block Set+

The 10249 9-Piece Household Cutlery Block Set bundles the Chef's, Slicing, Bread, Santoku, Boning, Tomato Slicer, and Spear Point Paring knives with a 10" sharpening stick and wood block, all in solid walnut. Buying individually makes sense if you only need one or two blades or already own some of the set; the block set is the better value for starting a kitchen collection from scratch.

Caring for and Sharpening Your Case Kitchen Knife+

Hand wash and dry Tru-Sharp stainless blades promptly rather than running them through a dishwasher, which can dull the edge and stress a walnut or bone handle. The 7389 10" steel sharpening stick realigns a rolled edge between sharpenings, while the compact 9473 diamond sharpening rod (600 grit) is built for a quick touch-up or on-the-go use.

Case Kitchen Cutlery: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers from Knifeworks' team on Case's Household Cutlery collection.

What steel does Case use in its kitchen cutlery?+

Every knife in the Household Cutlery collection uses Case's Tru-Sharp stainless steel, the same formula Case uses in its pocket knives, for long edge retention and strong corrosion resistance.

Which Case kitchen knife should I buy first?+

The 8" Chef's Knife handles the large majority of everyday prep. Add a paring knife next for detail work, then a bread or slicing knife as you round out the set.

What's the difference between a Chef's Knife and a Santoku?+

The 8" Chef's Knife has a curved edge suited to a rocking cutting motion for general prep. The 7" Santoku has a flatter edge better suited to straight-down dicing and mincing.

Should I buy individual knives or the 9-Piece Block Set?+

Buy individually if you only need one or two blades or already own part of the set. The 9-Piece Block Set is the better value if you're building a full kitchen cutlery collection from scratch.

How do I keep my Case kitchen knife sharp?+

Use the 10" walnut-handle sharpening steel to realign the edge regularly, and the compact diamond sharpening rod for a quick touch-up. Hand wash and dry the blade promptly rather than using a dishwasher.

What handle materials are available?+

Most of the lineup uses a solid walnut handle. The Bread Knife is also available with a black synthetic handle, and the 4-Piece Steak Knife Set uses smooth Natural Bone.

What warranty comes with Case Kitchen Cutlery?+

Every piece in the collection carries Case's Limited Lifetime Manufacturer's Warranty.

Where is Case Kitchen Cutlery made?+

It's made in the USA using domestic and imported materials, continuing a cutlery line that dates back to Case's original standard catalog.
