SHOP CASE KNIVESBring lasting sharpness and sleek functionality to your kitchen with the J.A. Henckels 7-Piece Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set. Designed for both novice cooks and seasoned chefs, this set includes the most essential blades for daily prep: a nimble 3-inch paring knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife perfect for crusty bread or tomatoes, a 6-inch fine-edge utility knife for slicing meats or vegetables, a 7-inch hollow-edge santoku for ultra-efficient mincing and chopping, and a versatile 8-inch chef’s knife for everything from herbs to onions. Kitchen shears and a handsome self-sharpening block round out the set.
The real standout feature is the self-sharpening block—each fine-edge knife slot contains a ceramic honing wheel that sharpens automatically every time you remove or return a knife. With labeled slots and a stainless-steel cap set atop a stained ash wood base, the block is both smart and visually refined. This makes sharpening effortless and ensures your blades are always kitchen-ready.
Each knife in the set is fabricated from high-quality, durable stainless steel using a single-piece stamped construction. While lighter than forged knives, the full-tang design and traditional triple-rivet handles provide excellent balance and maneuverability. A satin-finished blade edge delivers precise, fatigue-free slicing, while the curved black matte ABS handles offer a secure, comfortable grip with modern appeal. A stainless-steel endcap finishes the look with a polished touch.
Whether you're chopping, slicing, or dicing, these knives stay sharp and ready thanks to the built-in maintenance system. And when the prep work is done, every knife is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup—no special care needed. Visit SMKW and check out our large kitchen department!
