This Sleek, Self-Sharpening 14-Piece Henckels Knife Set Is 70% Off Right Now

To be a great chef, you have to have the tools and skills to tackle any kitchen task that comes your way. Sometimes, the job requires a super sharp 8-inch chef’s knife or a santoku; other times, you might need to do some precise work with a utility or paring knife. And when it’s time to slice bread for that big old sandwich you can’t wait to painstakingly prepare, you absolutely must have a solid bread knife at hand. But building your own knife collection from scratch isn’t for the faint of heart — it can be expensive and challenging — which is why many of the best knife brands out there offer knife sets that have everything you need.

One such legendary company is Henckels — and we just stumbled across a mind-blowing deal: Its Modernist 14-piece set is currently 70% off.

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

If you think you’re seeing things, let us assure you that you are not. This knife set usually sells for $657, which is over $450 off, landing it at a remarkable $200. And it’s even more wild when you consider what you’re getting for that price.

The set comes with an 8-inch chef’s knife, a bread knife, a 7-inch santoku, serrated and regular utility knives, a paring knife, six steak knives,  kitchen shears, and a self-sharpening block. The slots in the block have built-in ceramic honing wheels that sharpen the knives when you place them back, meaning that you can be pretty sure that whenever you pull a knife to do some work in the kitchen, you’re getting it at its sharpest. 

Shoppers are shocked at how good this set is. One pointed out that they were actually apprehensive about using these knives because of how sharp they were, but once they started, they regretted not starting sooner. Another customer said that the knife block looked gorgeous on their counter and that the knives were so sharp they could slice tomatoes very thin — something that’s very hard to do with knives that aren’t as sharp as possible. A third shopper who said they had been sharpening their own knives for the past 25 years was very happy with the self-sharpening function.

Whether you’re gearing up for a huge Thanksgiving dinner, seeking a gift for a knife-needing loved one, or just looking to boost your own knife game, this 14-piece set from Henkels should have everything you need. And at this price, now is definitely the time to dive in.
