[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a gift and I love it. The knives are very sharp and cut a tomato with ease. My only complaint is it says dishwasher safe but the blades were discolored on my set after running it through the dishwasher once. I recommend hand washing this set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this knife set. It was gifted to us as a house warming gift. Knives work very well. My husband works as a cook and he enjoys having this in our kitchen. The only thing is I wish the knife holder was black our gray to match our new kitchen. We tried looking for one at the local retail shop and they did not have one. We are bummed but we kept it anyway. We highly recommend these knives.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First thing I love is you always have a sharp knife. Second is I can easily find the knife I need for the job. Finally the whole set is attractive and professional looking on my counter. I feel like a true chef using these knives.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this knife set to replace a much older knife set that was missing pieces. The block is much bigger than I originally expected but still fits comfortably in our smallish kitchen. All the knife handles felt good in my hand and the knives are certainly sharp. If you are a relative novice to knives, I'd recommend taking a picture of the box so that you can figure out which knives go where in the block.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just opened, so can’t comment on longevity or how the self sharpening works. Only downside so far is that the knives aren’t labeled, and I’m no knife expert, so I don’t necessarily know I have all the knives in the right spot.

I recently purchased the HENCKELS DEFINITION 20-pc, Self Sharpening Knife Block Set and overall, I have mixed feelings about it. Let's start with the positives - these knives are undeniably sharp. From slicing through vegetables to cutting through meat, they effortlessly glide through with precision. The self-sharpening feature is a great addition, as it helps to maintain the sharpness of the blades over time. However, there are a few concerns that I have with this set. Firstly, the sharpening pieces included in the block are effective, but they do leave behind metal shavings. This raises the question of where these shavings go and whether they end up on the food I'm preparing. To err on the side of caution, I find myself rinsing off the knife each time I use it, which can be a bit inconvenient. Another disappointment was the discovery of rust spots on four of the knives. Considering that this is a brand new product, it was disheartening to see such flaws. Thankfully, I was able to remove the rust spots using bar keepers friend, but it does raise concerns about the long-term durability of these knives. To prevent future rust, I have decided to avoid using them in the dishwasher, which is a bit of a hassle. Lastly, the size of the knife block itself is quite large compared to my previous Chicago Cutlery set. While it does provide ample storage space for all the knives, it takes up a significant amount of counter space in my kitchen. If you have limited space, this might be something to consider. In conclusion, the HENCKELS DEFINITION 20-pc, Self Sharpening Knife Block Set has its pros and cons. The sharpness of the knives and the self-sharpening feature are definite highlights, but the concerns about metal shavings and rust spots are disappointing. Additionally, the oversized knife block may not be suitable for those with limited counter space. Overall, I would recommend this set with caution, keeping in mind the potential issues that may arise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never had a “proper” knife block set before. After a very long search and reading lots of reviews, decided to finally buy a set. Love the look and feel of this one. Hopefully they will hold up with the use of our big family!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the self sharpening feature. We have had dull knives for far to long. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the size of the block is much larger than I anticipated. It doesn't fit my kitchen space well, but other than that the product meets all expectations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the knives. Top notch. Has everything I need. The only thing I'm not too excited about is the design. It's elongated and should be taller rather than such angled style. Takes up too much room on the counter and it odd
