“Self-Sharpening”.
That’s some high comedy there.
Exactly, are there little ninjas in the block?
I bought this exact set a year ago. Love the knives. Very sharp. Nice feel and weight. But beware, my set did not include the bread knife. I don’t think this set does if you count the pieces (including the block). The picture shows a bread knife, but I don’t believe it is in the list of included items.

Hey guys! Buyer is feeling good this Tuesday morning and has lowered the price to $119.99. Buy ALL the knives.
If you already purchased, that difference will be back in your pockets soon.
Hi there. Thank you for the feedback. I’m not seeing a bread knife. I see a serrated utility knfe.
Same exact set on ebay is less expensive plus free shipping and no tax: https://www.ebay.com/p/Calphalon-Classic-Self-sharpening-15-pc-Cutlery-Knife-Block-Set-1932932/1576451287?iid=173595673546&chn=ps
“Knives are forged from high-carbon, no-stain steel. The high carbon content allows the knives to resist stains and discoloration more effectively than standard carbon cutlery. The steak knives are constructed of durable stamped steel”
Ok, major contradiction here.
High carbon or stainless steel? Lower carbon and the addition of chromium and other large nodule additives make “stainless steel”. High carbon steel is subject to oxidation and staining because of the lack of oxidation inhibitors - hence more carbon. Also, high carbon steel is not shiny like the stuff pictured.
Not saying these are bad knives, but they cannot be called forged high carbon.
Seems to be straight from Calphalon:
https://www.calphalon.com/en-US/calphalon-classic-self-sharpening-15-pc-cutlery-set-ca-1932932--1
Actually, that is from their sales and marketing department.
Metallurgists they are not.
Did you know that there is only a 2% difference in carbon content between low carbon steel and high carbon steel? Less than that if the steel is “stainless”.
Now they might be playing in the wiggle room and using surface hardening with dissolving more carbon into the outer areas with high heat carbon application. That increases the hardness and wear resistance, at the surface.
With the “auto sharpening” feature, that surface hardness is eroded every time the knife is removed.
The steel is not high carbon. Sorry
