Henckels' Self-Sharpening Knife Is the ‘Gift That Keeps on Giving,’ and It Is 70% Off Right Now

Knives are a kitchen necessity, but you may be creating more work for yourself if you don’t regularly sharpen your set. Working with a dull or poorly maintained blade not only requires more effort while chopping and slicing, but it’s dangerous, too. 

While the actual process of sharpening your blades might seem intimidating, there are plenty of self-sharpening knife blocks on the market so you don’t have to worry about handling it yourself. This 70 percent-off Henckels set from Target, for example, features 14 high-quality German stainless steel knives with satin-finished blades that shoppers said “makes you feel like a professional chef in your own kitchen.” 

Henckels Modernist 14-Piece Self-Sharpening Knife Set with Block

The Henckels Modernist 14-Piece Self-Sharpening Knife Set features a 5-inch serrated utility knife, 6-inch utility knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, 3-inch paring knife for smaller tasks like cutting garnishes, 8-inch chef’s knife for chopping and slicing, an 8-inch bread knife, six 4.5-inch steak knives, kitchen shears, and the self-sharpening block itself. Each slot in the stained ash wood base has built-in ceramic honing wheels which automatically sharpen your blades every time they are stored or removed. 

Each knife in the set features a lightweight, ergonomic handle with a fingerprint-proof texture that makes it easier to grip and utilize, while the blades are designed to stay extra sharp to avoid fatigue. This may be particularly useful in saving you time and energy if you plan to host for the upcoming holidays. 

And while the sale price — just $200 versus the usual $657 — and function alone are reason enough to make a purchase, the shopper reviews make this Henckels set a can’t-miss buy. One customer called them the “best knives” they’ve ever owned, and noted that you can “feel the quality in the handles and blade.” Other reviewers praised them as “worth the money” and said they’re the “gift that keeps on giving with everyday use,” while a third person said the self-sharpening block “makes prepping breakfast, lunch, and dinner a lot easier than before.” 

If you’re ready to ditch your old, dull knife block set and invest in one that will withstand time and do some of the work for you, or you just can’t pass up that $457 off deal, head over to Target to snag these Henckels blades. Keep scrolling for more discounts from the brand while you’re at it.
