Description
The Modernist 14-piece self-sharpening knife block set features all the knives you need to set your kitchen up right. Experience confidence with the 8-inch chef’s knife for all-around tasks, like chopping herbs and slicing chicken, and the 3-inch paring knife, ideal for smaller scale tasks like peeling vegetables and creating garnishes.
The self-sharpening slots boast built-in ceramic honing wheels that automatically sharpen when knives are stored or removed. The remaining slots are for serrated knives, with toothed blades that never need sharpening. Completed with kitchen shears and 6 ultra-sharp steak knives, this set is displayed in a stylish brushed stainless-steel cap and stained ash wood base.
Beautiful and practical, the Modernist cutlery line features a fully forged bolster construction that seamlessly transitions from blade to handle for durability, balance, and striking design. Fabricated from high-quality German stainless steel, the satin-finished blade produces precision cuts and is honed for long-lasting sharpness. Equally ergonomic and stylish, the hollow stainless-steel handle is wonderfully lightweight. Its fingerprint-proof sandblasted texture is easy to grip and is beautifully finished with a polished, logo-embossed end. Enjoy effortless cutting and cleanup with these dishwasher-safe knives.

stunning and so smart!
I was looking at this Modernist set many times. it was beautiful but I just couldn't justify it because my knives worked perfectly fine, just not as lovely to look at or hold! When I saw that they made it with a self sharpening block the decision was made. This allowed me to get the knives I have always wanted but now they were upgraded! the self sharpener is awesome, I don't have to drop my knives off to my butcher just when I need the to be sharp the most. Its a perfect assortment of kitchen knives and We were blessed to get 6 amazing steak knives too. My old ones barely had an edge left. This was my favorite purchase of the year!

Good, but lacking in quality
I just received my set this morning and upon opening I’m hoping I just got a bad set because 2 knives came with rust spots, 3 have gauges in the bottom cap, 4 have the coating on the handle damaged, and the pairing knife sits low and loosely in its storage slot (getting in the way of removing other knives). I haven’t used them yet, but I’m sure they are sharp and they feel sturdy. For the large price tag on these knives I expect more. I will attach photos but it’s hard to see. I am letting customer service know of the damage and will update if needed

Great set
I just set up our new knife set, but I am impressed! Henckels has a great reputation for quality knives and this set is not only attractive, it is also made to last. The knives are so sharp and I love that the block is labeled. The one thing I wish is that there were more pictures of the block put together. It looks to me like 2 of my knives aren’t sitting right, but I can’t really tell as there is only 1 picture on the outside of the box with all knives in place. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and am looking forward to many years with this set.

Effortless Cutting but Requires Extra Care
This knives set makes a wonderful addition to any kitchen, especially for newlyweds like my wife & I. The blades are very sharp, offering precise cuts with minimal effort (especially for an intermediate cook like myself). Their lightweight builds make frequent usage a breeze, a crucial feature when prepping for big family dinners or just cooking daily for a spouse. However, they do have a downside—susceptibility to rust…. While durable in many ways, extra care is needed to keep them in optimal condition. Overall, a solid 4/5 stars for these high-performing yet not-quite-invincible kitchen essentials.

Sharp as can be and great feel!
Oh my gosh! It has been so long since I had good knives, I forgot I didn’t have to risk losing my hand slicing a potato. These take on almost anything you can dream of. I use the chef’s knife most of the time, but I do enjoy the santoku and utility knives, as well as the steak knives. They feel really good in my hand, and they aren’t at all slick or slippery, even when hand-washing. The block is large, but honestly it is not that much larger than any other knife block that holds 14 knives. Well worth the counter space! I recommend using a wooden cutting board to preserve their blades. The built in sharpener is cool, but it can’t fix abuse!

Beautiful Awsome Knives
These knives look beautiful and expensive. They came very sharp right out of the box plus the built in ceramic sharpener keeps them sharp with every use. The knives are full tang and the balance is great while the texture on the handles is just right and the ergonomics are great. The color of the dark stain on the hardwood base is very beautiful. The logo stamped on the end cap gives some added flare. This is our second Henckels knife set, our first was the 15 piece set from the "Statement" line.
Once again we are very impressed with the quality and very happy with our purchase!

Ohhhh my!!!!!
These knives are amazing!! This is my first “real” set and I landed on these to take the leap!!! Ohhh my these are amazing!!! I was hand washing them and not paying attention, shredded the cleaning pad on accident! So sharp! The built in sharpeners are awesome! I have always hated that part and now it happens for me every time I get one out. Magic!!! Love these things, they are built like a tank and made from German steel super high quality. Bought these because others said they had sets for decades and still going strong, now I see why. No regrets here , don’t hesitate!

Do all of the self sharping blocks sharpen all the knifes in the block or just the main knifes not including the steak knifes?
