Description
xHENCKELS J.A. International Modernist 13-piece Knife Block Set in black is a full kitchen cutlery collection that pairs fully forged German stainless-steel blades with lightweight hollow stainless-steel handles for balanced, long-lasting performance.
This Modernist collection brings together all the knives and tools most home cooks reach for daily: a versatile 8" chef's knife, a hollow-edge 7" santoku for stick-free slicing, an 8" bread knife, serrated utility, paring knives, steak knives, kitchen shears, sharpening steel and a black hardwood block for organized storage. Built with precision-honed satin-finished blades and a seamless bolster-to-handle construction, the set aims to blend professional-level cutting capability with a refined, fingerprint-resistant aesthetic.
How does this set handle everyday chopping and meal prep?
These knives are designed for routine kitchen tasks—chopping, mincing, slicing and carving—with particular attention to balance and edge retention. The 8" chef's knife covers most prep work while the santoku’s granton (hollow) edge helps sliced foods release cleanly so you get neat, efficient results.
- 8" chef's knife for versatile chopping and dicing
- 7" hollow-edge santoku reduces food adhesion when slicing
- 5" serrated utility for crusty bread and soft interiors
- Paring knives for precise peeling and trimming
Are these knives durable and easy to maintain?
The blades are forged from German stainless steel and satin-finished for corrosion resistance and a sharp initial edge. A fully forged bolster improves strength and balance, and the set is made to stand up to regular use while keeping maintenance straightforward.
- Fully forged bolster construction for long-term durability
- Satin finish resists stains and helps preserve the edge
- Dishwasher-safe but handwashing recommended to prolong edge life
- Includes 9" sharpening steel to maintain a fine edge at home
What ergonomic or design features improve handling?
The Modernist line uses hollow stainless-steel handles that are both lightweight and balanced with the blade to reduce wrist fatigue. A sandblasted, fingerprint-resistant texture offers secure grip without sacrificing the set’s contemporary look.
- Hollow stainless-steel handles for lighter, better-balanced handling
- Sandblasted finish hides fingerprints and improves grip
- Polished, logo-embossed handle ends for refined visual appeal
