About the J.A. Henckels International Definition 12-Piece Knife Block Set

A 12-piece stamped stainless steel knife set from Henckels' value-focused International line, sold with a wooden block. The blades are precision-stamped rather than forged, with full tangs and triple-rivet plastic handles. At $90.09 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, making it a cheap way to stock a kitchen.

    • Comfortable, grippy handles

    Questions and answers

    Is this set worth it over a forged Henckels set?
    If you want a complete block cheaply and don't mind stamped blades, yes. Forged sets like Henckels' higher lines cost more but hold an edge longer and feel heavier.
    Are these knives dishwasher safe?
    Henckels lists them as hand wash or dishwasher safe. Dishwasher detergent and heat still dull edges faster, so hand washing keeps them sharper longer.
    What knives are in the 12-piece set?
    A typical Henckels Definition block includes a chef's knife, bread knife, santoku or slicing knife, utility knife, paring knife, six steak knives and the block. Check the listing for the exact lineup.
    Is $90.09 a good price?
    Yes. That Walmart price as of November 4, 2026 is at the low end of what this set has sold for recently, and three stores carry it new.
    Who is this set for?
    Home cooks setting up a kitchen or replacing mismatched knives. It is not aimed at professionals despite the listing's labeling.
