Customer Reviews for Henckels - Elan 7-pc Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set - Matte Black

Verified Purchase:Yes
These knives are so good I have 3 sets. I bought one for my girls house with the steak knives. Then had to buy her mom the same set. Then I bought the 7 piece for me and it has the same quality and same sharpness as the other set. These knives are amazing. These knives are so good and sharp, you can cut an onion and be done before the 1st tear falls.. I love this brand and these knives.. best kitchen purchase ever...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great set but the paring knife got a rust spot on it within first week of using it
Response from HENCKELSBy Consumer Relations, November 12, 2025
Thank you so much for your review and for sharing your experience. We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying your Henckels Elan set, though we’re sorry to learn that your paring knife developed a rust spot. Our knives are made from high-quality stainless steel designed to resist corrosion, but occasional rusting can occur if moisture remains on the blade. We recommend washing the knives by hand, drying them immediately after use, and storing them in a dry place to help prevent this. If the spot persists or you’d like us to take a closer look, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team at hello@henckels.com, we’ll be happy to help.

I have used Henckels knives for a long time. This set works great in our smaller kitchen because it is compact. The handles are comfortable to use.

Very happy with this set. Model 1023202. The self sharpenin go is a great feature to keep knives sharp. The stainless and black is a sleek and professional look without taking up a large amount of counter space. Super happy with this purchase!
I would recommend this to a friend!
