Henkels are good knives, but they are of the heavy German variety. This does not fit all personal preferences. Henkels are also not necessarily the world's best at holding a sharp edge, although they are much bettert ahn a regular cheap knife you'd pick up at a big box store.
If you don't want to learn how to use a whetstone or a waterstone and do want to be able to sharpen your knife at home, you can get a fairly inexpensive sharpener made by Henkels for your knife. Another option is to take it into a local store that does sharpening or ask your butcher where he gets his knives sharpened and have a professional do it.
