The handsome hardwood block handily keeps this useful knife collection within reach on your countertop. Honed for long-lasting sharpness, the fine-edge blades boast precision cutting. The all-rounder 8 in. Chef’s Knife is perfect for chopping herbs and dicing onions while the 5 in. Serrated Utility Knife cleanly slices through tomatoes. Efficiently mince garlic with the 5 in. Hollow Edge Santoku, whose blade has small indentations, aka grantons, that prevent food from sticking while cutting.

This is perfect for the couple, single or new homeowner who wants a good German-made block set that will not break the bank! Everything you need is here. Also makes a great gift. Love that it has both a Santoku and the shears! Not all blocks have both! The handles are also very comfortable & knives feel very durable.

To provide some context, we were using very old, made-me-down knives that were taped together by the previous owner. When my parents gave us these for Christmas, I felt like a little kid again: being at home during the pandemic, I’ve been cooking a lot, and having a nice set of knives will go very far! Best of all, not only is the wooden block beautiful on our counter, but after much use, the set comes with a sharpener (which our old set did not have, and as a result, the blades on the knives were dull and nearly useless). I know it’s the apex of adulthood to be excited about knives, but when they’re as beautiful as these knives are, it’s not surprising. My parents gifted these knives to us, and they own a set, so I know I would like them–and I very much do!

I love this knife set. It come with all the knives I need and I love how it comes with steak knives so I didn’t know to think about purchasing them separately. It looks super classic on my counter top and the handles are super comfortable in my hand with the curves.

It’s been a long time since I had a knife set. This knife set is great! The knives are sharp and I haven’t had to use the sharpening steel yet. I love the 5 inch Santoku knife.

This is a very nice affordable set of quality knives. It comes with a large variety of knives that are typically used in most home kitchens. There are 5 kitchen knives of various sizes, 4 steak knives, a scissors and sharpening steel included in this set. They all fit handsomely into an attractive wood block for counter-top storage. They feels comfortable in my hands and cut well with very little effort. I enjoy prepping and cooking with this set and find it has just the right amount of variety of knives for the average homeowner looking for quality knives at this price point.

This is the first premium knife block set that I have decided to purchase and I am so glad that I did. The Henckels brand came highly recommended and I understand why now. Everything has been superb, from the block itself to each individual knife. They are razor sharp and the feel just exudes quality. Granted I’ve only had them for a few weeks but in that time I have found myself looking for excuses to prepare meals, just so I can use my new knives. The walnut block stands out in my light colored kitchen giving me an opportunity to show off when friends notice it. It may sound a bit overly excited but I really do like them that much.

The curved design of the handles do a good job of filling your hand, and make them feel a little higher end than their price tag. The blades aren’t forged, so they don’t feel as nice as more expensive knives, but they’re still a very good value.
