This is a review of the Joseph Joseph Elevate Knives Carousel – a set of 6 knives and a sleek, rotating knife holder. As with all of our review, we feature both PROs and CONs. The black blade, black handles and ingenious carousel knife block would look great in any contemporary kitchen. The carousel is magnetized, so that the knives click in place and do not fall out. Another great feature of the carousel is that any knife can fit into any slot. Each of the 6 knives are color coded, so you just have to remember which color is which knife.
Majority of kitchen knife sets come with a honing stick or sharpening steel. Joseph Joseph sells a 2-stage sharpener/honing gadget separately. It’s inexpensive at $12.99, and we would definitely purchase it for this set, you’ll need it. (Actually, that sharpener is cleverly designed as well – it folds up compactly and can fit in any drawer.
