I was excited receive my first Henckel knife get . It arrived and he set is better then I Could have ever expected.First of all the get is beautiful. This o& deserves to e presented for everyone to admire sorry I have a thing for knives. That are The perfect weight and cut like buter. Being a skeplic I Thought for sure the Self sharpening wos a gimmick. I'll have to get back to you on that, They are perfectly sharp still. Thank you  Henckel
