Complete set but have space!
This set is complete with the exception of a cleaver and a longer paring type knife. Not sure why but the 2 paring knives are essentially identical (last set of Henckels had a very nice, longer one). The set is beautiful and I am excited about the self sharpening! As hard as we try, we don’t pay attention and end up with dull knives. Hoping this block will keep us on track! The one draw back? It’s HUGE!!! I have the space, but I find myself wanting to alter the block. At least 5 inches can be cut off the back, a flat piece of wood stained and attached and viola, it will then sit back against the wall and not out in the middle of my counter top.

Game changer
These knives are truly great. Cooking is done in my home as a family and good knives are more important then people realize. Not only for the ease of use. But cutting with dull or low quality knives can be a safety hazard. These have been great for not only me and my wife, but my children have learned to use these with ease. The set came with every knife I needed plus some I didn’t know that I needed (until now). I feel like these will give me several years of good use and the self sharpening will keep them like new for a very long time. I thought what I was using was great until I used these. The price I paid now feels very low for the quality in my eyes.

Easy to use
The knives were well packaged, the directions were clear and concise, and within minutes we had them cleaned and ready to use. They don't fit too tightly into the block so you aren't forced to sharpen them every time you add or remove them to the block. They were very sharp out of the box, and although we have only had them for a week they have not shown any signs of dulling despite heavy use. You have to know your knives as the knives aren't labeled and you have to put them into their specific spots. The handles are easy to grip, clean, and are slip proof. Very sleek design, looks nice in any kitchen that doesn't have light oak cabinetry.

A Knife for Every Need
These knives are great. There is literally a knife for every need from cutting vegetables (Santoku) to deboning a fish filet (Boning) if you can’t prepare any meal with a set like this aside from butchering a side or beef or pork then no knife set will ever be enough. The quality of these knives is leaps and bounds above any set you could buy from a big box store. Well worth the investment and I expect to get a long use from these. The self sharpening block is great as well even though I sharpen my own knives with wet stones this block should mitigate the need for that. Trust me if you purchase any Henckle knives you will be happy with your purchase.

Amazing quality... great handling
I beginning to learn technical cutlery skills and I wanted a product that would allow me to continue to advance my training as well as be safe enough for the rest of my family to comfortable use. I found a winner! I purchased the Henckels Modernest Knife Block for home use and I am extremely impressed. I am able to achieve the same precision that I find with the professional knife set that I train with. The built-in sharpener insures that every knife is in perfect shape when I am ready for it! This was a great choice, and even better, I've been introduced to the entire line of Henckels kitchen tools that may not have ever had the chance to experience.

Very well designed, and pretty - but lacks info
This is my first Henckels set of knives. The block of wood is beautiful and packaging is excellent.
The only thing I really was not impressed with is the lack of a product book with this set. While the small folded one page Use and Care guide does give a minimal amount of information on how to properly insert and retract the knives from their storage and sharpening block, it gave no information at all about the heritage, history and standard of excellence that makes Henckels the brand that it is.
I would like to know much more about the technology and excellence that goes into what I just invested a large amount of money for.

Excited to use!
The set is almost perfect and I can’t wait to start cooking. That said, there are some things to know. CONS: the steak knives are serrated which isn’t necessary for a truly sharp knife. Second, the he sharpening wedge is angled for western edge even for the santoku which should have an eastern grind.
Pros: a great selection of knives! Tired of using an utility knife as a carver and boning knife? Do you want to right tool for the right job? Second, because it sharpens on the pull I no longer have to worry about when to sharpen them and I don’t have to use the crummy sharpening stick (or whatever it’s called)
Overall I recommend!

Beautiful set
This set replaced our other Henkel set of 20 years!
This is a good brand that lasts.
The combination of wood and steel for the knife block was an elegant touch.
The knives have a good feel to them. It’s light weight but feels sturdy. Ideal for when you have plenty of chopping to do.
My youngest is excited to use it because of the santoku knife and had called dibs on that knife.
As I am a novice at cooking, maybe on their next go around, they could label the knives as well because the instructions said that it’s important to place knives in their correct slot to avoid potential damage to their sharp edge as well as the ceramic sharpening stones.
