I love these knives. And, I was happy to find the knife to complete my set. Great ease of use and very sharp.

I have had this set for one year now. They are great for cutting a variety of things and are well balanced. The only flaw is that they are thin and light. The 7" broke while sharping on a sharping steel. The knife will need sharping over time with daily use. I use mine everyday in my home. This knife is not intended for rough handling.

I bought this set to complement my 13-piece set that I had previously purchased (I had two slots free in my storage block). The 7" Hollow Edge Santoku, however, does not fit into any slot of the storage block. It may fit into the block that comes with the 17-piece set, though. Just be careful as the Santoku is a fairly wide knife.

This is the cheapest line of JA Henckels offerings, but they are decent. The brushed stainless back edge is nice, but a few of the knives have this back edge out of tolerance with the handle, so the fit between them isn't always terribly smooth. All told though, a very nice set of knives for the cost.

Nice knives & very sharp, I'm glad I purchased them. My only con ( & it's minor) is they "seem" thin, light weight & will need TLC if they are to last. I am hanging on to the lifetime warranty on these just for that reason = 1 less *, otherwise they are a great product & I plan on adding the 2 set Asian cutlery duo to fill out the blocks 2 add'l slots.

I almost didn't buy this set because another reviewer said the larger knife didn't fit in the knife block that comes with the 13-piece set. But I went ahead...and the knife fits easily in my knife block. I love all these knives, especially the Santoprene handles, which are very comfortable. I'm not much of a cook and this line of Henckels knives suits my needs, and are priced great!
