Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Removed from their slots in this set's rubber-footed wood storage block, these eight knives slice any steak, chop, or roast into bite-size pieces. Gourmet is one of Henckels's inexpensive cutlery lines. These knives don't have bolsters, but that feature isn't vital when confronting a rib eye. The high-carbon, stainless-steel 4-1/2-inch blades are stamped, not forged, and because they are serrated on the upper halves, they tend to tear meat fibers rather than slice precisely through them the way straight-edge knives do. On the other hand, the fine serrations reduce the tearing effect, and the blades' lower halves are straight. The synthetic, three-rivet, full-tang handles are classically styled. --Fred Brack
What's in the Box
Eight 4-1/2-inch steak knives, beechwood storage block
Product Description
Trying to cut through meat with a dinner knife is a recipe for disaster, as in Caribbean Jerk Pork Chops meet wool blend trousers. Provide each place setting with its own steak knife for a much more enjoyable dining experience.

Expensive for what you get.,

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 9-Piece High-Carbon Stainless-Steel Gourmet Steak Knives with Block (Kitchen)
I had a set of steak knives that didn't cut very well. I was so sick of them I decided to spend what I thought was a considerable sum to get "good" knives. Unfortunately, I did not see the editor's comments on this site before buying--they do tear meat, rather than cut it. Frankly, they are only marginally better than those they replaced. [The block is also fairly useless. Who wants their steak knives sitting on the counter top all by themselves? I have my kitchen knives in a block and do not need or want two blocks sitting out.]

I have found these knives do the job they're designed for very well. These are serrated knives and have kept a sharp edge for the five years I have owned them.

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 9-Piece High-Carbon Stainless-Steel Gourmet Steak Knives with Block (Kitchen)
I bought these knives for my wife for Christmas. We bought them to complement our regular set of Professional S knives.
About the knives: The look of these was dead on with our current set. The finish of the handles could have been better. They feel a bit light and the handles just aren't as smooth as the Professional S set. That being said -they weren't nearly as expensive. I posted pictures of the end serrations on the blade. Not sure how this will effect sharpening them in the future. About the block: It was lighter in color than the other knife block we have. The stock photo is a very good representation of the color of the product we received. I would have been more pleased if it matched exactly. Overall: My wife is very happy with them. They cut well and look pretty good. I only ask for a bit better quality feel and a slightly different block color.
