Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This six-piece knife set from J.A. Henckels benefits from the company's 260 years in the cutlery business. Each knife is made from stamped, high-carbon, no-stain steel blades that have been ice-hardened, which results in a very long-lasting cutting edge. The set includes a 3-inch paring knife for cutting and paring fruits and vegetables, a 6-inch utility knife for slicing, and an 8-inch chef's knife designed to rock on the cutting board for better slicing of fruits and vegetables. The set also includes a set of kitchen shears and a sharpening steel with its own slot in the solid hardwood knife block. The block has an additional five slots for adding knives as the need arises. Each knife has a full-length tang (meaning the metal blade continues all the way through to the end of the handle) that provides better balance and a stronger knife. The Novadur plastic handles are unbreakable and impact- and acid-resistant and won't fade over time. These knives are dishwasher-safe, but be careful that the blade doesn't touch other objects; hand washing is recommended to keep steel blades scratch free. --Doree Armstrong

Good knives from a great name in cutlery,
By A Customer
This review is from: Henckels Gourmet 6-Piece High Carbon Stainless Steel Knife Set with Block (Kitchen)
This was my first set of nice knives. They are excellent for the price. They could potentially be the last set of knives you own, due to the high quality of material used and Henckels outstanding reputation for excellent cutlery (professional chefs know the Henckel name). However, they are the "low" end of the Henckels line. I have since added several knives from their Pro S line. More serious cooks may want to skip the Gourmet line and spend the extra money on a set from the Pro S (or higher) line. Otherwise, like I did, you will find yourself spending more money buying the nicer knives "open stock".

Great knife set,
By A Customer
This review is from: Henckels Gourmet 6-Piece High Carbon Stainless Steel Knife Set with Block (Kitchen)
I didn't realize just how much my Farberware knives ... until I used these. They feel firm in your hand but not too heavy. It's only getting 4 stars because it's not washable, and because I feel the block takes up too much space. To accomodate the length of the sharpening steel, the block is actually very long and juts out. The extra slots were great, as I was able to add my own bread knife and carving set.

AN EXCELLENT KNIFE SET FOR THE MONEY,
By thomas schmidt (fairfield, ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henckels Gourmet 6-Piece High Carbon Stainless Steel Knife Set with Block (Kitchen)
I AM AN AVERAGE COOK, AND THIS HENCKEL'S KNIFE SET IS JUST EXCELLENT. I CONSIDER MYSELF FORTUNATE TO HAVE BOUGHT GERMAN-MADE CUTLERY AT SUCH A GREAT PRICE. THESE KNIVES ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE TYPICAL DEPARTMENT STORE KNIFE SETS. THEY ARE MADE OF THE BEST STEEL AND HOLD A SHARP EDGE MUCH LONGER. SO I RECOMMEND THAT YOU PAY A LITTLE MORE, AND GET A KNIFE SET THAT YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH FOR A LIFETIME.
