Our take on the Henckels Definition 14-Piece Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set

The Henckels Definition 14-piece set is a stamped stainless steel knife collection with a self-sharpening block. Each slot has built-in ceramic honing wheels that realign the edge every time you pull a knife out or put it back, so the set stays sharp without a separate sharpener. The blades are stamped rather than forged, which keeps the set light and thin behind the edge but means less heft than Henckels' forged lines like the Pro or Four Star. It suits home cooks who want a full starter kit with low upkeep, and it is a common first block set for people moving up from bargain knives.

Best forHome cooks who want one complete block setBuyers who dislike manual sharpeningSmall kitchens that need shears and steak knives includedGift buyers wanting a recognizable German brand
Pros
  • Self-sharpening slots keep edges honed with no extra tool
  • 14 pieces cover chef's, santoku, bread, utility, paring and steak knives plus shears
  • Full-tang stamped blades with solid bolsters feel balanced in hand
  • Curved ABS handles give a comfortable grip for most hand sizes
  • Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended
Cons
  • Stamped blades are thinner and lighter than forged rivals
  • Ceramic honing wheels sharpen slowly and can wear the edge over years
  • ABS handles feel less premium than wood or riveted forged handles
  • Block takes up real counter space and is heavy
  • Serrated edges and shears cannot use the self-sharpening slots

Questions and answers

How does the self-sharpening block work?
Each slot has angled ceramic wheels that hone the edge as you slide a knife in or out. It keeps knives serviceable but is not a substitute for occasional proper sharpening.
Are these forged or stamped knives?
They are stamped from stainless steel with full tangs and solid bolsters. That makes them lighter and thinner than Henckels' forged lines such as Pro or Four Star.
Can I put them in the dishwasher?
Henckels lists them as dishwasher safe but recommends hand washing. Detergent and heat dull edges and can wear the handles over time.
What knives are included?
The set includes a chef's knife, santoku, bread knife, serrated utility knife, paring knife, steak knives, kitchen shears and the self-sharpening block.
Is this a good set for a first kitchen?
Yes. It covers the core knife types plus shears and steak knives, and the self-sharpening block lowers upkeep for someone who will not hone by hand.
Where is the Henckels Definition 14-Piece Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set cheapest?
