Unless you’re a professional chef prioritizing knife maintenance above all else, chances are your kitchen knives might be due for some sharpening...

You can take your set to a kitchenware store or even look for a mail-in service to outsource sharpening service, but if that sounds like too much work, then you can always spring for a knife block that does it for you. Target’s latest Henckels deal will shave 70% off the cost of a new set with bonus built-in sharpening features.

For the time being, you can purchase the Henckels Modernist 14-pc Self-Sharpening Knife Set with Block for $200, instead of $657. This massive $457 price drop includes free shipping, but can only be found online — the set is not available in stores.

The 14-piece collection is not only stylish, with a brushed stainless steel cap and stained ash wood base, but it’s also all-inclusive with essential knives like an 8-inch chef’s knife and bread knife, a 3-inch paring knife, six steak knives, and a pair of kitchen shears all engineered with top-shelf German stainless steel and satin-finished blades.

Its coolest part, though, is the innovative block that comes with built-in, ceramic honing wheels. The company says these wheels automatically sharpen your knives every time you insert or remove them from the block so that your blades remain consistently sharp without any extra effort on your part.

This versatile feature helps keep your knives sharp but also extends their lifespan (and ensures you get the most bang for your buck). Sharp knives require less force, reduce the risks of slips and nicks, and also help you chop, slice, dice, mince, julienne, chiffonade, etc. ingredients more efficiently and cleanly.

Shop the Henckels Modernist 14-pc Self-Sharpening Knife Set with Block for $200, while supplies last.
