J.A. Henckels International Graphite 14-pc Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set

The whole set allows you to work with most foods. ( no cleaver for hacking bones** ) You will find the self sharpening base a very cool idea to keep your knifes ready at all times. ** You dont need a cleaver when your dealing with normal meat.

I ordered as a wedding present. Originally I ordered from Amazon. The packaging was trashed and it looked like it was sent to somebody else first, and returned, Then that same package e was sent out to me. Not exactly a very flattering package to give us a gift to someone, but the package I received from Walmart came in perfect shape. It arrived on time within two days. It saved me. Thank you.

These knives are okay. The block came with the top panel unglued and had to be fixed right away. The stand takes up a large space on counter. The knives are not as sharp as I expected them to be for the price. Kinda heavy and bulky especially for small hands. If I had it to do over I would probably purchase a different set.

Great quality. Have had an old set for years and still going strong. Just wanted updating. These German steel blades cut fantastically. Only thing negative was that the block is too big taking up more counter space and fake wood veneer came scratched.

I bought this set of knives as a Christmas gift for my wife this past December. Not even a year later and just about every knife has rust spots and the coat on the handles are peeling off yet in the description it claims to be dishwasher safe. Don't waste your money on these knives. I wish I could get a refund for these but it's too late for that. I'll be contacting the company directly about this.

I purchased these knives on sale during Black Friday and after ONE use, there was rust. I read the description and it was clearly stated “dishwasher safe”. So, I began handwashing, with all natural soap. More rust. I reached out to the manufacturer and I was told to use baking soda, vinegar and lemon to remove rust. As a customer I should not have to use baking soda, vinegar and lemon to clean rust off of a product that sits at $500 after ONE use. The manufacturer markets these knives as stainless steele. “Stainless” being in the title. What they fail to mention is that these particular knives are made out of a lower quality stainless, such as 304L when they should use a higher quality alloy such as 316L - at least. For the price, I would never recommend these knives to anyone. Sure, the self sharpening block is nice, but it’s made out of a cheap wood, so any knife block would suffice. I would be embarrassed to charge someone $500 and stand behind this product.

We got the knife set on deep discount around Christmas. We thought we got a heck of a deal. Turns out you have to hand wash these because they will rust immediately in the dishwasher. My dishwasher even pops open once it's done to dry so it's not like they stay in there wet. Overall I would not buy this again and I am not impressed at all.

I didn't receive this item. I had multiple items within this order and received all but the knife set and small kitchen appliance. Walmart representative said the seller would need to refund money or replace item. No word from seller as of today. Lesson learned from ordering from another company using Walmart platform.

I bought these on cyber Monday. Was super excited as we need a new quality knife set. Opened them this morning %26 the shears %26 utility knife both have rust spots on them. They also look like they may have been used. There were finger prints on a few of the smaller knives upon opening.

first off, don't be fooled by the on sale price of 200 bucks down from 1,000. you can get them off thier website for 200 bucks. 2nd. the santoku blade has a good size chip in it. the block appears to be in good shape. bought this for a Christmas present and went through it to make sure everything is there. it was , and then inspecting the other knives and there are defects in the blades. trying to get them to fix and replace some knives, Zwelling wants me to return the entire set to walmart. they don't sell these in store so its going to be a hassle to get them replaced. I wouldnt buy these again.
