This is a beautiful set of knives! We have struggled with knives that stay sharp for a few months then go quickly dull. This set has built in sharpening so every time you put the knife back into its slot it is getting sharpened. They have a nice weight to them and the block is beautiful and sleek design. I haven’t had a block on my counter due to the aesthetics but this one looks modern and clean so I’m fine with it staying on the counter top.

I absolutely love my new Henckels Diamond 13 piece set that I recently received. It not only looks great it cuts great. I do a lot of cooking and this set of knives has quickly become my absolute favorite. The set looks classy and very fancy. The steak knives are restaurant quality. The best part is that the set is self sharpening so I don’t need to worry about the ser becoming dull and having to replace any time soon. I would highly recommend.

This is the nicest knife set I've had the pleasure of using! It includes: Chef, Parer, Santoku, Bread, Serrated Utility, (6) steak knives and a pair of shears. Solid, sturdy, feels great in your hand, and cuts amazingly. They will last a lifetime. These cut easily and everything cuts like butter. They cut meat, veggies including tomatoes, and fruit. They make meal prep easy. All the knives came individually wrapped, the blade was wrapped in cardboard and the entire knife then was in a recyclable bag. Be careful getting them out these bad boys are sharp. The knife block is black with a stainless steel face on where the knives go, the steak knives portion has a black face. The block stores them all conveniently on the countertop, making it easy to grab what you want. Mines next to the stove and cutting board, ready for the next prep time. The block sharpens the chef, parer, and santoku knives as you slide them in or out. The only drawback with the block is how deep it is. It was twice as deep as my previous block and sits further out onto the countertop because of it. I would highly recommend this set.

Normally I would hold back from a “modern take” on a timeless tool like a full tang knife. But I’ve always wanted a Henckels knife set and now that time is short day to day seems the integrated knife sharpener seemed like something to try. The handles feel really good in hand, the texture is nice for gripping with wet hands, and the blades are sharp out of the box. The steak knives are very nice. I’m sure to maintain razor sharp edges, you will need a stone on occasion, however, pulling through the integrated sharpener has to help! I recommend trying these if you don’t like sharpening knives or are shorter on free time.

This knife set is pretty amazing. It looks great on my counter and has a good selection of different types of knives. My husband is thrilled. He says they are the sharpest knives we have ever owned. I highly recommend this set if you are looking to purchase a new knife set.

I thought I had good knives till I received these. I’ve always struggled to cut tomatoes. I’ve tried many different knives and they just made a squishy mess. I just assumed all knives just couldn’t cut tomatoes perfectly. I cut a tomato that was already too ripe and it cut it perfectly. No squishy mess. I love the block it keeps them organized and sharpened. It’s also sharp looking. I get compliments all the time. The quality is excellent. german steel, which I like since I have broken several knives in half. There is also a wide range of knives. The serrated one slices through bread without tearing. I love to cook so these are going to make cutting much faster and easier. I wish I had these years ago. My daughters love to cook so I will be purchasing these for them. These will make great house warming or bridal gifts. The only thing is to be careful when washing them, there extremely sharp.

I have had the same knife block for the last 20 years. Recently upgraded to this set. Wow, what a nice knife set/block. Handles are stainless, blades are German steel, block is a self sharpening and it’s got a sleek modern look. Blades are super sharp and it’s a night and day difference in the kitchen. Priced at a great value for a 13 piece set with a self sharpening block, and it’s a quality Henckel product. So far I’m very pleased!!!

These knives are not only great to cut with but they are beautiful to look at too. The stainless handles go great with my appliances. I love the self sharpening function and the Diamond handle for grip. They

I love these knives. They are very sharp. I like that they get sharpened every time that you take them out to use them. I like that handles are easy to grip. The block that holds the knives is slender. The kitchen scissors are nice and don’t hurt when using them. I also like that the block has the names of the knives so you know what you are using.

Never, and I mean NEVER have I had a knife set RUST on me!  This is completely unacceptable. $150 for rusting “German” stainless steel.  It doesn’t matter if these are hand washed are washed in the dishwasher, they are all rusting on the blade and on the handles!
