Great set of knives for the price. Very sharp. These knives are stamped not forged. Well made but lighter than a forged knife

Wonderful knives. Every sharp with the in block sharpener, Handy on the counter top block. Recommend to every one!

The knives were exactly what I had hoped for. Only one minor issue. I received 2 Boning knives and no Prep knife.

Junk! Wish i could post a pic of the knife that broke in half. The metal itself. Not the handle.

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.] 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.] Knives and scissors have a good feel to them with some weight but not heavy at all. Butcher block itself was much larger than I expected - I wish it were a little smaller. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 due the bulkiness, it was almost too big.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My sister-in-law has owned this for years and just gifted us one as a house warming gift. I love the amazing quality of this set. Each knife slot has a built in knife sharpener which is an awesome added bonus!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice collection of knives that has everything you need to complete your kitchen. The block is nice looking and would match any kitchen style. Just note that the actual block is quite deep and takes up a fair amount of counter space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I love this knife set! It was a wedding gift and we could not be more happy with this one! I love the self-sharpening block and the many different knives that come in this set. They are all so much stronger than our previous set and I highly recommend them!
