The Henckels Modernist 20-Piece Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set brings together premium German engineering and contemporary design for everyday kitchen use. Each knife is fully forged from high-quality German stainless steel with a satin-finished blade that delivers precision cuts. The fully forged bolster construction seamlessly transitions from blade to handle for superior balance and durability. Blades are rated 56–58 on the Rockwell Hardness scale and honed to a 15-degree edge angle for long-lasting sharpness.

The hollow stainless steel handles feature a fingerprint-proof sandblasted texture for a secure, ergonomic grip, finished with a polished logo-embossed end cap. The set includes a 3" paring knife, 4" paring knife, 5" serrated utility knife, 5.5" prep knife, 5.5" boning knife, 6" utility knife, 7" hollow edge santoku knife, 8" bread knife, 8" carving knife, 8" chef's knife, eight 4.5" serrated steak knives, soft-grip kitchen shears, and a 19-slot self-sharpening wood knife block.

The self-sharpening knife block features built-in ceramic honing wheels in each straight-edge slot that automatically hone blades every time a knife is inserted or removed. Serrated knife slots require no sharpening. The knife block measures 18" L x 6" W x 14" H with a black wood base and stainless steel cap. Knives are dishwasher safe, though hand-washing is recommended. Made in China with a lifetime warranty.
