Product Description

Amazon.com Review
At the less expensive end of the Henckels International line’s price range, the Everedge Plus collection features lightweight cutlery with micro-serrated blades that never need sharpening. The difference between the Plus collection and regular Everedge knives lies in the handles. Formed of contoured, almost cushy santoprene instead of polypropylene, Plus handles are handsomely-backed with brushed stainless steel for added leverage and a sleek, contemporary look. Ideal for a student apartment or vacation rental, this 13-piece set includes: a 2-3/4-inch paring knife, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife, 5-1/2-inch boning knife, 5-inch tomato knife, 6 4-1/2-inch steak knives, and a graphite-painted storage block.

Because of their light weight, Everedge Plus knives are well-suited to small hands and also help reduce tiredness when a large amount of food preparation is required. The molded handles are quite comfortable and resist breakage. While not precision-ground or hand-honed, the stainless-steel blades nevertheless slice and chop with ease. Each features a different serration depending upon its function. All the pieces store in the included silver-painted wood block. Made in China, the cutlery is dishwasher-safe yet best washed and dried by hand. The product is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

1.0 out of 5 stars Look great but cut poorly, December 18, 2005

By	K. Henry (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nice looking set. I've never owned a set of knives that cut as poorly as these (at any price). The knives tear food and do not make a clean cut.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful and reasonably priced, August 9, 2005

By	K. Nefferdorf (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I set up my wedding registry, I knew nothing about knives and registered for the least expensive set they had at the store. I realize now that knives are one of those things where you get what you pay for. Knowing that, I'm genuinely surprised by how low the price is for these knives. We bought this set last week and it is a huge improvement. It's not professional quality but it's more than enough for the average cook. The knives cut like a dream and the handles are very comfortable. I love the santoprene - it's very similar to the OXO tools that the rest of my kitchen is stocked with; in fact these handles are a perfect match with the OXO SteeL collection. The steak knives look fabulous with my flatware, too, which is always a plus. Two thumbs up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Knives, March 10, 2006

By	Amy Y. Barnett - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like the design of the knives. They just are not sharp. I have to push down real hard for them to cut anything.
