These knives are really great for the price. They are sharp and sturdy and do the job.

I have a set of $350 steak knives so I know what the reviewers are speaking of when they say these aren't real Henckels. That being said, THEY ARE ONLY $30. It is quite bold to pay $30 for a set of knives and then give a one star review saying that they are cheap. What did you expect?!? You bought $30 knives but reviewed as if you spent over $100. That's just seems dishonest.

You won't go wrong buying these knives. You can use them for everyday and toss them in the dishwasher and in a pinch you can disobey the cardinal rule and use one of them to open an Amazon Box because hey, they were only $30!!

I have several Henckels Eversharp steak knives that are several years old and they continue to cut well and have survived many dishwasher cycles. I just added six more that I recently purchased from Amazon and expect similar performance from these. I also own a set of Henckels Four Star knives that are over 20 years old. They do not go into the dishwasher but need regular sharpening/honing. The steak knives are not in the same league as the Four Star line but they are very convenient (just toss in the dishwasher), relatively inexpensive, perform well and are fairly durable.

My recommendation is to go with these knives if you are looking for a set of steak knives to be used on a daily basis.

Well, gee whiz! All the negative press these under-rated knives are getting! I managed to slice my fingers (DEEP!) spewing blood...just trying to get them out of their packaging! They're plenty sharp alright!I didn't find them at all flimsy, wobbly or thin! On the contrary, I found them to be stable and sturdy with just the right amount of "heft". Makes me wonder WHAT people are trying to saw thru with these knives!
The knife blades are riveted to the wooden handles,the blade edge is serrated for a good sharp cut, and they DO cut very well!
For the price, for everyday use, these knives are a great deal!

No they aren't the same quality as those steak knives that cost $24 each, but for the price they are wonderful. I didn't want to spend a fortune on steak knives because my family abuses them. That's right, we open the mail, slice through cardboard and cut through those impossible nylon bindings. The we wash them and set the table with them too! So when I saw these I snapped them up, hoping they would last a year or two. They're wonderful! Perfectly fine for table wear and do a nice job. They are worth every bit of their price.

We purchased these new knives about 2 weeks ago. The price is excellent, and the quality is superb. The tangs (that is the metal part of the blade that goes inside the handle) goes right to the end with 3 fixtures keeping in place, making these a very solid knife.

They don't weight too much, and the handles are not too chunky. Add to this, the extremely sharp blades, and you've got a winning combination at a price you can't beat!

For the price, we expected an "ok" knife, but instead found this knife to be superior to many others we own, including Cutco. We are glad we made the purchase. Delivery was very timely.

The International Eversharp line is Henckels low-end, stamped stainless line. It is not carbon steel. It is not hand-forged. It does not compare to the other Henckels lines which are. You get what you pay for. These are cheap knives.

This is the first time I have seen a set of Henckels knives which could go in the dishwasher....but, that's because on this line, you do not get Henckels lifetime warranty (which is voided by dishwasher use).

Buying on-line has one major drawback and that is the inability of the buyer to test the product before making the decision. Whenever your purchase comes as advertised, you have made an excellent buy. This knife set qualifies as just that.

These knives are really good, very sharp and sturdy. They've been washed plenty of times in the dishwasher and have not lost their finish or sharpness. One minus is the size of the handles, a little too small to feel like a real steak knife. Other than that they are a pretty good set.

When I bought these, I was expecting big-ole BLACK ANGUS type knives. You know, the big steak knives you get at steak houses? These are not those knives. In fact, my butter knives are bigger than these puppies. However, they work.
