I bought these knives at Target several years back. Although they *occassionally* get dishwasher stains on the handles, the blades themselves never get dishwasher stains on them, which is important to me; my girlfriend bought a different set of stainless steel steak knives (different manufacturer) that consistently come out of the dishwasher with massive rust stains on the blades themselves, which makes me not use them (who wants to eat rust). This makes me appreciate the Henckels set even more: I would definitely recommend this Henckels set.

I received a set of these knives aboout 5 years ago as a wedding present and bought another set to complete 12. These are great quality, durable and I've even used them combined with more formal silverware. I highly recommend it.

These were sent instead of the black-handled set I ordered so I thought I would give them a try. They are listed as "dishwasher safe", but evidently are not. Brown stains (rust?) appeared on the tops of all the handles. I cleaned them with silver polish, but the stains reappeared with subsequent washings. I have returned them and received a refund.

I got this steak knife set to go with a 45 piece flatware set from JA Henckels and was not disappointed. I am extremely happy I purchased this set along with the Henckels flatware set and both sets should last for decades. The knives are sharp, have a sold feel, look great, and are reasonably priced as it appears this set will provide years of cutting meat with ease. I highly recommend this set and thoroughly enjoy them myself. After friends have used them they usually ask where I got these because they are so impressed with the solid feel and ease in cutting meat they want a set of their own. If you get the woodblock too they look great on the counter.

I purchased these knives to replace another brand that I was unhappy with. For the price, I did not expect much. However, I am very pleased with them! They look great and have a very nice feel when you are cutting with them. I have had them for almost a month now and have no problems with them at all. I put them in the dishwasher every time they are used, which is very often, and they are not discoloring or anything. They look great after repeated washings! I would buy them again and would recommend them to anyone.

Well.....it is now December 29, 2007 and these knives are still great! I have not had any problem with them being washed in the dishwasher. They still look like they did the day that I received them. I would still recommend these knives to anyone!

This is the only set of steak knives that I have ever owned. That being said I can tell you that these knives are sturdy and up to the task of cutting meat superbly. $30 is dirt cheap too.

Purchased 2 sets (8-Piece Steak Knives) for a wedding shower for an awesome price. I found the same knives in a department store for a higher price and there were only six in the set! I have owned a set of these for 11 years and they are great. They dress up the dinner table nicely - the ones with the big bulky black handles are not as elegant on the table. Can't wait to purchase these again for the next bridal shower I attend!

I initially recieved 4 as a wedding gift. They worked so well, beyond other knives I have used that I had to buy 8 more for a 12 piece set. Highly Recommended.

However, they are smaller in size than what I expected. They are the same size as my butter knives. I expected them to be some what longer. They cut beautifully and look sleek and clean.

These knives look great, but are too small in the hand and have a poor serration design. I eat a lot of steak and I am a professional chef. The knives will actually start to hurt your hand when eating a rare ribeye steak.
