Nice looking set. I've never owned a set of knives that cut as poorly as these (at any price). The knives tear food and do not make a clean cut.

When I set up my wedding registry, I knew nothing about knives and registered for the least expensive set they had at the store. I realize now that knives are one of those things where you get what you pay for. Knowing that, I'm genuinely surprised by how low the price is for these knives. We bought this set last week and it is a huge improvement. It's not professional quality but it's more than enough for the average cook. The knives cut like a dream and the handles are very comfortable. I love the santoprene - it's very similar to the OXO tools that the rest of my kitchen is stocked with; in fact these handles are a perfect match with the OXO SteeL collection. The steak knives look fabulous with my flatware, too, which is always a plus. Two thumbs up.

I bought this set almost two years ago. It's true that the knives cut sort of "funny". Not a real clean cut. But the kicker is, I was chopping a red pepper for some chili, and the chef's knife snapped in half! It was not under much force, and in fact the knife was barely used. These are not good knives.

I like the design of the knives. They just are not sharp. I have to push down real hard for them to cut anything.

This is the worst knife set ever. The handles of the knives feel decent but the serrated blades don't cut well. It tends to shred instead. Like the other reviewers stated, my set also began to develop rust spots on several of the knives within the 1st month! My other knives...some also higher-end knives from Henckels... have never rusted and I care for all of them the same way. The best thing about this knife set is probably the metallic coated block that the knives are stored in. The knives themselves are totally lacking quality and they definitely give Henckels a bad reputation.

The knives are Ok they work if you are trying to get by, but they won't last you. All the knives have a serrated edge so none of then cut smoothly, you have to saw everything.

I didn't do all my homework before purchasing these knives. They cut really well and the handles are comfortable but they are not dishwasher safe. There is some blurb in the instructions about ruining the handles....blah blah blah. I only spent $55 on these knives so I've ignored the message and put them in the dishwasher. Most of the knives have been washed about twice and they seem to be doing just fine.

I was lusting after this set of knives for my kitchen for the longest time, but after getting them as a gift and using them for about a year have found them to be not very good at all. The grip handles are great, but the blades are strangely perforated and they have all rusted! It says they are made of stainless steel, so why are they rusting? I was shocked to see this low level of qaulity from a company like Henckles. I really don't recommend this product.

On the first day of use, we managed to get rust spots on a couple of the knives. ON THE FIRST DAY! It was a wedding present so I couldn't return it. It was a huge disappointment because they really did look nice in the box.

Oh and they cut fine.

These knives are garbage. Each knife is serrated so it cuts everything like a loaf a bread. I'm surprised Henckels puts it's name on this set. Spend a few more dollars and buy a respectable set.
