Product Description
Amazon.com Review
A great gift, this seven-piece set equips a cook with five essential kitchen knives, a 9-inch sharpening steel to keep blade edges aligned, and a hardwood block to store knives and steel on the counter. The knives are a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, a 5-3/4-inch utility knife, an 8-inch carving knife, an 8-inch bread knife to slice crusty loaves, and an 8-inch chef's knife for rocking through chopping and mincing tasks. The knives don't have bolsters and are stamped, not forged from stainless steel. The steel is of lesser quality than Henckels' premier lines. Handles are also formed of stainless steel, and their satin finish contrasts stylishly with the blades. The knives are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Just OK,
By A Customer
This review is from: Henckels International Fine Edge Pro Stainless-Steel 7-Piece Knife Set with Block (Kitchen)
I am not a professional chef, but I am an avid cook and I found this knife set to be a bit disappointing. I purchased it with hopes of getting a good set of Henckels knives with a longwearing stainless steel handle. Instead, these knives feel VERY light, the shape is hard to handle for fast chopping or dicing, and the handles frankly just feel strange in your hand (they have a sort of a sandpaper texture.) I would only recommend these knives for someone who prefers beauty to function- they are attractive in the block on the counter. In my house, however, they never leave the block.

This review is from: Henckels International Fine Edge Pro Stainless-Steel 7-Piece Knife Set with Block (Kitchen)
These are NOT the german henckles - they are made in Japan and don't even compare to the german or even spain henckles. I am returning this product as i don't find it worth even the $49. I certainly don't know any stores that would sell this for the $247 or whatever they said the "retail" price was. The block was also dissapointing, it looked plastic. This makes me nervous to buy other amazon products that are at "sharp" discounts in the kitchen section...

first of all be aware of that knives are made in Japan and block is made in China.I thought they were made in Germany when I ordered them. Especially block is awful. I do not recommend this set to anyone because even cheapest knives that I had bought from Walmart (china made-$4) are sharper and cut better.If there is no difference between the cheapest knives from Walmart and this over 70 bucks set what is the point to pay this nonsense difference for a worse one.If you really want a nice set you have to pay what it deserves (check out amazon you will see some real sets cost over thousands)but if you want something that can fulfill the tasks in your kitchen you can easily buy any cheaper alternative rather than these.
