Love the knives!!! I already had one Henckel knife, so I knew what type of knife I was purchasing. Extremely sharp and well balanced. Have enjoyed using them for everything. Would recommend these knives for anybody wanting a good knife, but not having to spend lots.

I bought these knives for my mother as a gift. She previously had an old set of Chicago Cutlery knives (30+ years) that needed replacement, and after some research, I decided to go with these.

I own a set of Shun knives myself. I've used her old Chicago Cutlery knives a fair bit, as well as many other brands (mostly inexpensive ones). So I've used dirt cheap, to (nearly) top of the line.

My impressions of the knives...

Pro - These knives have a comfortable, well balanced feel to them. They cut well, and they look handsome in the block.

Con - Other than the minor complaint that the block isn't fitted to the set(some holes are too big for the smaller knives), at this price, no other complaints have merit.


Conclusion - I think these knives are a good deal. If you want a good set of knives, and can't/don't want to spend $1000+ on an upscale set... These are definitely worth a look at.

I had terrible knives before these, so I fell in love right away.

The knives are sharp, the sharpening stick woks extremely well to hone it whenever my husband decides he "needs" to sharpen a knife. The knives are so sharp that we have both accidentally cut ourselves while doing dishes.

The block for the knives is nice, but I wish I could hang it, like I have seen in some kitchens, under the cabinet. I like that the metal goes all the way through the handle, as it makes me feel like I have a good grip on the knives.

I am not a big fan of the wood they used for the block, but that is just personal preference. I would have liked a darker, heavier wood, or bamboo or something like that. Again, that's just me.

It's a little awkward for the little knives to fit in the block because the slots are a little too big, so they do not automatically align when you insert them. I have slight OCD issues, so it bothers me, but I just have to align it myself, so all the handles point in the same direction. It's an aesthetic thing really.

But I really do love my knives and the weight of them and everything.

It is a pleasure to use this set, I am constantly looking for food to cut so I can use the knives again.

Henckel 'double image' knives have been touted as some of the best available to the home consumer. They did not disappoint. The knives are very hard steel and stay sharp. Cutting with them is a new experience. Almost makes cooking pleasureable for me.

As far as the premium henckels knife sets go, this one is one of the cheaper ones. They were a gift for my mother and a extreme upgrade over the old dull knives she had been beating on for years. Its hard to find a good henckels set (not those henckels international ones) for $200 or less. These knives were about $200 which compared to the top of the line sets from other brands. As a general rule, if I can find what I need from a respected brand, even if its not that brands best product, I will always choose that over something from an inferior brand, at the same price.

Out of the box the high quality of the knives is evident. I was looking for sets with all the knives you could want without wasting money on steak knives. This set is perfect. If your like my mom, and are transitioning from a dull set, be careful! After a few nicks, you will stop underestimating their sharpness.

Unfortunately they tell you not to put them in the dishwasher. I cant blame them for trying to protect their product but I cant say they are going to be washed by hand all the time either.

The item claimed to have blemishes on the block and knife and I have yet to find one on the block (I have not opened the knives because it's a present). So I'm happy considering the discount it had on it. Of course I'm unsure of how well the knives actually work because again it's a present.

These knifes are really, really nice. I bought them for my mom and she loves them. They make my Chicago Cutlery knifes look like a garage sale find (although they are -- in comparision to most knives-- excellent).

The only problem we have is that the block does not fit the knives! There are no slots "made" for a particular knifes. The large knifes fit well anywhere, but the smaller knifes have to much wiggle room.

This is ok because we are going to mount a magnetic strip and hang the knifes from it, but still really -- for the price the block should fit them very well. This is a thing my Chicago Cutlery does much better.

The knives themselves though are lovely. Very shiny and very sharp. If your a cooking fan than this is one of those things that makes you go "ah".

There are more expensive knifes out there from Henckels, Wusthoff or even Calphalon. But for the price, these are really wonderful.
