Great value. The knives are very sharp and easy to care for. The various colored handles make it so easy to reach for the tool you need quickly. Since the knives are stored in their own block on the counter, I find I reach for these tools rather than opening the untensil drawer and grabbing the tools I had previously used for years. I generally like a clear, functional counterspace, however, these knives use such a small amount of space and are used several times daily. The block is a neat and safe way to store them and keep them handy. The overall design actually adds a little something to the space. This was an easy fit. We didn't have to get used to the new tools.

We'd been using the same two paring knives for the last 10 years, so I picked up a Henckels 5-piece Utility Paring Knife set as a gift for my wife.

The quality is better than I would have expected for a plastic handle set out of China. The steel is strong and after 4 months of hand washing I have no spots, blemishes, or rust on the blades. There's enough variety in the set to meet most needs and you'll find yourself preferring these over your traditional knife set.

This is one of those items you don't know you need until after you purchase it. If my house burned down tomorrow I'd probably replace my Henckels before the TV. For everyday use you can't beat them.

I can't say enough about these knifes. The color coded handles really help to grap the correct knike for the job. They are really sharp and keep their edge. I've had mine for about three years and I use these everyday.My husband always wants to know why I reach for these instead of my more expensive name brand set, but I really like these better. I wish they made a set of larger knifes in the same design ( color coded handles ), I'd be first in line to buy them. Fantastic value for the price.
