Our take on the Henckels Statement 20-pc Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set

A 20-piece stamped stainless steel knife set built around a self-sharpening block, so the knives get honed each time you pull one out or put it back. It covers the everyday lineup: chef's, santoku, bread, boning, paring, utility and steak knives, plus kitchen shears and a sharpening steel. Triple-rivet handles and full tangs give it a familiar German-knife look at a mid-range price. At $279.95 at Wayfair as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, so waiting for a sale is reasonable.

Pros
  • Self-sharpening block keeps edges touched up with no effort
  • 20 pieces cover chef, santoku, bread, boning, paring, utility and steak tasks
  • Full-tang stamped blades with triple-rivet handles
  • Dishwasher safe, unusual for a knife set
  • Stain- and rust-resistant stainless steel
Cons
  • Stamped blades, not forged, so they are lighter and less rigid than premium German knives
  • Self-sharpening slots remove metal over time and limit how sharp the edge gets
  • Block takes a lot of counter space
  • At $279.95 it is priced high for a stamped set
  • Dishwasher cycles dull edges faster than hand washing

Questions and answers

Is the Henckels Statement 20-piece set worth it?
It is a solid value if you want one purchase that covers most kitchen tasks and sharpens itself. If you care about forged blades and maximum sharpness, spend more on a smaller forged set instead.
How does it compare with Henckels' forged lines like Four Star?
Four Star and other forged lines use heavier forged blades with better edge retention and cost more per knife. The Statement set is stamped, lighter and dishwasher safe, and you get far more pieces for the money.
Are these knives really dishwasher safe?
Henckels lists them as dishwasher safe, but hand washing keeps edges sharper longer and protects the handles. If you do use the dishwasher, dry them promptly.
How does the self-sharpening block work?
Angled sharpeners inside each slot hone the blade as you insert and remove it. That keeps edges serviceable but gradually removes steel, so the knives will not last as long as hand-honed ones.
What is included in the 20 pieces?
Chef's, santoku, bread, boning, paring, utility and steak knives, plus kitchen shears and a sharpening steel, all in the self-sharpening block. Exact counts per style are listed on the box.
When is the best time to buy it?
At $279.95 at Wayfair as of November 5, 2026, it is at the high end of its recent range. Knife block sets usually drop around Black Friday and holiday sales, so waiting can pay off.
