I received a set of these knives as a gift about 3 years ago. My blade snapped just as described in the other reviews. I saved the snapped pieces for a while, but decided I probably wouldn't follow through with what was likely to be a difficult customer service experience (didn't have any proof of purchase, etc.). Went on today to order a replacement, and realized that 1) this was a very generous gift (thanks Mom, and now I wish I'd kept the pieces) and 2) any replacement I ordered would be subject to the same problem. This is disappointing since I'd like to have a knife that matches the rest of the set.

Similar to the other reviewer, my knife snapped in two pieces, on the blade, just above the handle, while cutting a red potato. This knife has a "lifetime warranty" so we'll see if JA Henckels comes through. This is a good-looking, well-balanced knife. But it seems like it shouldn't have snapped, even after 5-years of use.

I thought this was a really sharp knife and easy to use for small cutting. However, after 1 year, it snapped in half when I was using it to cut cheese. I am trying to get it replaced!
