Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The eight large, sturdy knives in this knife-and-block set easily slice a thick sirloin steak, a lamb chop, or a pork roast into bite-size pieces and provide the hefty feel suitable for diners with hearty appetites. The 4-1/2-inch blades have serrated edges, so they tend to tear meat fibers rather than slice precisely through them, although their microserrations are finer than most serrated steak knives. Fine serrations mean they stay sharper longer. The handles on these knives are classic three-rivet style with full tangs.

Henckels International knife lines are made in countries outside Henckels's home of Germany. These knives come from Japan, don't have bolsters, and are stamped, not forged, from stainless steel that is of lesser quality than Henckels's premier lines. The knives are dishwasher-safe (though they should be hand washed to protect their edges) and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. The wood block is 6-1/2 inches high. --Fred Brack

I hesitated to buy these because the press was so good.
All the really good knief sets are expensive aren't they? In a word NO!
These are great.
Sharp, they seem to be holding the edge, diswasher safe so far, and
they look good to.
I may buy a second set, I use these for every thing from cutting pbj to
the toughest cuts of meat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfied, October 12, 2005

I got these as part of our wedding registry here on Amazon.

When I was selecting steak knives, I immediately went to Henckels for a trusted name. When I saw the price on these knives I was weary and when I saw the initial price, I thought that Amazon was just able to get a good price on these. I read that they came from Japan but hoped that Henckles would not put their stamp on a product they don't approve.

I am so satisfied with the product, extrememly shard, nice handles, and the block is very nice as well.

We're regular steak eaters and so far, new york steak, lamb chops, and ribs have been no contest for these knives.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of our best wedding gifts, August 30, 2004

This review is from: J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 9-Piece Steak Knife Block Set (Kitchen)

I don't know anything about cutlery and my wife knew a little; so when we received this knife set as a wedding gift, we were kind of "Oh. How nice." We just figured we could make do with our old set, and that this gift was sort of gratuitous. We we ever wrong. Little did we realize how absolutely essential the Henckels International Eversharp Pro 9-Piece Steak Knife Block Set would be.

The knives are smooth-cutting and precise. The grips are extremely comfortable, and, so far, we've had no problem with the dishwashing. They are very durable and have not gone the slightest bit dull. This would make an ideal set for anyone's kitchen. (It makes a great wedding present too!)
