Very good price, I've not seen them this cheap before. This price may be for Prime members only, I do not know, sorry. Second best price according to 3xCamel.
Henckels is Zwilling sister company. As opposed to Zwilling, which is made in Germany, these are usually made in Asia or in Spain. However, very decent quality.

Stylish self-sharpening block, that boasts built-in ceramic honing wheels that automatically sharpen when knives are stored or removed.
For effortless sharpness for precise cutting every time.
Knives made of high-quality German stainless steel
Dishwasher safe but hand washing recommended
Kinfe block includes: 1 x Kitchen shears, 1 x Steel, 1 x Paring knife, 1 x Utility knife, 1 x Chef's knife, 1 x Tomato knife, 1 x Santoku knife with hollow edge

    I have a set of Viner Titan Gold. I’m assuming these would be far better than them? I’ve had them about 6 years of so and due to change the kitchen so thinking about ordering a new set.

    Long history, British brand, good looking. Not sure if they still make them in The UK. I think Viner Titan are more than decent. But I think they are in a different league. For home cooking, yours are probably more than fine and certainly better than the average brands in the shops. However, reading online, I've not come across any chef talking about them. I just read an article about Gordon Ramsey, and Henckels was mentioned as one of his favourite brands. I really much doubt it he believes this. There are better brands out there. He probably said he likes Zwilling, and his words were twisted and associated with Zwilling sister company. Or he uses the 'highest specs' Henckels model.
    We don't have to believe what the famous chefs are telling us. It is all marketing.
    I think your knives are good, but probably in a lower league than these ones. Personally, if there is nothing wrong with them, I would stick to them. And if I were to replace them, I would have gone with some top brands. 3 x Zwilling Pro knives are £100 and I don't think you need more than 3 knives. Quality over quantity.
    Saying this, the price is very good for these knives. (edited)

    Don't expect same quality as Zwilling (Germany,Japan) . Made by Henckels sister company (Taiwan,China or Spain). Good set tho. (edited)

    I'm not convinced with that self-sharpening block. Wouldn't that leave metal residue on the blade every time you take the knife out?

    Not really. That's more for keeping them sharp, rather than sharpening. For sharpening, you need to move the knife in and out quite a few times. I've not noticed any residue when taking the knife out.

    I got a similar set for my folks (Zwilling/Henckels - Pollux range) and they've mentioned about the best knives they've ever used, and they're keen cooks having gone through cheap to expensive knives in the past. Good deal op.

    I bought these and they are superb.

    Well, the ones you've got are great. And more than likely, you don't need extra knives. Yours are better than Zwilling basic pack of 6 plus knife block listed here at £150. (edited)

    aren't the ones with two little fellas on the logo the best and these seem to be stamped?

    The ones with 2 fellas are the more expensive ones, made in Germany or Japan. I've got them, and while the knife block has 2 fellas, it is made in China. But the knives are made in Germany. The ones I have are Zwilling, not Henckels. However, they are still stamped. Zwilling budget models are stamped as well. I've paid £110 for Zwilling when Henckels were £70. I thought the £40 difference was quite high, as Henckels are good too. Now, Henckels are £65 and the Zwilling I've got are over £150. I strongly believe the Henckels are way better value now and are good knives. I certainly prefer Henckels rather than the recent deals on Ninja knives at £130. Not only because they are cheaper, but I feel they are better quality as well. (edited)

    I went for the Zwilling set but now I’m not so sure on the prices

    I've paid £110 for Zwilling when this one was £70. I was tempted so many times to cancel and to go for Henckels. Eventually, I decided I like to see Made in Germany printed on my knives.
    However, given the fact Henckels is £65 now (up until midnight) and Zwilling is over £150, no doubt in my mind, if I was to buy now, I would've gone for Henckels. If you can spend a bit more now, put an order on Henckels too, and once received, see which one you like more, and return the other one. (edited)
