Prior to grabbing this set, my family had another set of Henckels knives that were very similar. We wanted to grab another set of Henchels again due to the quality of the knives. Firstly, they last almost forever and are very tough. The blades themselves are high quality. The steak knife blades are serrated. The set comes with a very nice looking block. The knives themselves have stainless steel handles and are very comfortable to hold. Would recommend.

I just got this yesterday and I can tell you it is fantastic. It is really beautiful and looks great on the counter. The knifes are very nicely made and balanced. My wife loves it. I like how you can sharpen the blade if needed right there in the block.

Having been a satisfied owner of a Henckels knife set for the past five years, I recently decided to upgrade to the Henckels Diamond 13-Piece Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set in Acacia. This new set has not only met but exceeded my high expectations. Here are three standout characteristics that make this knife set exceptional: 1. Self-Sharpening Technology: One of the most impressive features of this set is the self-sharpening knife block. Each time you remove or return a knife, it automatically sharpens, ensuring that every blade is always ready for precise cutting. This innovative feature is a game-changer, eliminating the need for manual sharpening and keeping the knives in perfect condition. 2.Superior Craftsmanship: The knives in this set are crafted from high-carbon stainless steel, which offers excellent durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The construction quality is evident in the perfect balance and weight of each knife, making them a pleasure to use for both everyday tasks and more demanding culinary projects. 3.Elegant and Functional Design: The Acacia wood block is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional. It provides a secure and organized storage solution for the knives, ensuring they are always within easy reach. The set includes a versatile selection of knives, from paring to chef's knives, as well as kitchen shears and a honing steel, making it comprehensive enough to handle any kitchen task. In conclusion, the Henckels Diamond 13-Piece Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set Acacia is an outstanding addition to any kitchen. The combination of self-sharpening technology, superior craftsmanship, and elegant design makes it a worthwhile investment. As a longtime fan of Henckels products, I highly recommend this set for its reliability, performance, and beauty.

Henkel self- sharpening block. This is a 13 piece set, 11 knives, kitchen shears and a block that will keep 3 of the knives sharp. Those 3 are typically the ones i would use everyday. I've had henckel knives in the kitchen for well over 30 years and this is the first with a self sharpening knife block. So excited! The knives have a nice balance and the crisscross pattern in the handles have a good feel and grip. I like to do the tomato test on knives every now and then to be sure they are sharp and they don't disappoint. Check out the video. The 6 steak knives are half serrated which i didn't know if i would like but i just used them to pick crabs and they worked well. Cleanup is easy as well with this all stainless steel set because there is no wood and tossing them in the dishwasher is safe. I always would hand wash sets with wooden handles. When in the block they also look great on counter with each knife labeled on the stainless steel block topper so nomore grabbing the wrong knife by accident. I hope you enjoy this set as much as i do. My wife enjoys using them as well. And you know a sharp knife makes kitchen cutting easy and safe. Dull knives need more down pressure which can typically leed to more accidental cuts.

Wow… I really wasn’t sure about this knife set being good but all I can say is I was wrong. I’ll start with its slim design. Such a good nice fit on the counter. Aesthetically it is really nice. The handles have a really nice grip, which is great! But the sharpness of the knives is really where the gold is at. I was able to chop chicken effortlessly. It was like cutting butter. Tomatoes too. I love this set and so happy with it.

Educational and sharp! Great knife set! This knife set is aesthetically pleasing and fits right in on the kitchen counter. The knife’s have great weight and came sharp. Love that the block has the names of each knife and it is self sharpening. Can’t wait to see how they last over time.

Finally, the perfect knife set to replace my 10-year-old knife set. This knife set is very sleek And it works great. No more dull knifes that will cause cuts. The knifes are very sharp and have good grip. It has a built-in knife, sharpener that wonderfully! The wooden knife block adds a nice little pop in color. I would definitely recommend this set anytime.

This 13 piece self sharpening knife block is amazing. It comes with every piece you'd need to cook any meal. I love the self sharpening element so they stay sharp for life! The knives and block are great quality and the color of the block matches with any kitchen decor!

This set looks really nice on my counter top, a bit big but fits fine! Love that it’s all one piece no wooden handles for food to get stuck in. Sharp and comfortable to use, and the self sharpening feature is a great bonus. I never put my knives in the dishwasher, always hand wash and dry. Didn’t get the chance to use the steak knives yet but it seems the whole set is great!

The top of one knife rusted the very first time my husband washed it in the dishwasher. The knives don't always cut food which we always cut. And the scissors are too short to cut through some things. Wish there was a paring knife and wish I had not bought this set. Our old worn-out set which we have had for years is still much better than this.
