I just want to say this is a great set at a good price. Buy also a bread knife (that can be used for tomatoes and other tough-skin-soft-core jobs), a meat fork, a steel, and a nice small block (well, that's a bit challenging) in addition to this set and you have everything you will ever need in terms of cutlery.

Henckels is known for its great knives and these are no exceptions. Nice balance and extremely sharp. And they wear well. They make cooking a much more enjoyable experience. This set is a great start for a complete collection of Henckels knives.

This is the best price you're going to find on the only knives you are ever going to need. The very name Henckel's is synonymous with the very highest quality cutlery. These knives are perfectly balanced and feel nice in the hand. They have a good weight to them and that edge is RAZOR sharp. I'm actually sitting here with a Band-Aid wrapped around my finger from just brushing up against one of my knives while doing dishes last night. These are NOT toys! With this set you get the three basic knives that no kitchen should be without and the only three you absolutely MUST have. The paring knife makes quick work of peeling, the utility knife will slice a sandwich in a split second, and that 8-inch chef's knife is going to be your workhorse for chopping, dicing, and slicing. Like most things in life, you're better off investing a little money now for the quality than you will be replacing your knives every couple of years. At least with Amazon, you can take most of the sting out of the pricetag.

After reading about these knives at various websites, I was anxiously waiting to receive my own. Undoubtedly, they are a bit more expensive than some other knive sets, but the knives are really great and beautiful!

Before purchasing the set, I only had one puny knive, so buying this was really a god-send. When the knives are in your hands, you can feel that they were constructed well and they are really, really sharp. You can easily cut yourself if you aren't paying attention. I wish that the set came with a holding block, which can be purchased separately. Right now I have them stored in a drawer that is lined with contact paper, which works fine as well.

In short, these are really nice, quality knives. I would highly recommend this product -- I've only had the set for a couple of months, but they have the construction to last through my cooking needs for a long time to come.
