Good buy for the money
I've had these knives for several weeks now and have to say I'm impressed. I did quite alot of searching before settling on these-and I'm glad I did. The quality is excellent,they are sharp and easy to use, and the set-though there are a few empty slots to add to it later-came with every type of knife I need. I pride myself in my cooking-I make everything possible from scratch and cook several meals a day, and I can't imagine a scenario where I'd say "if I only had another knife".
I see myself getting many years of use out of these. They come with a rod sharpener so that I never have to see them dull, or send them in anywhere to be sharpened. The block is sturdy and looks good with my kitchen decor.
I was leaning toward cutco brand before I decided on these, but I just couldn't justify the price of cutco. I'm not disappointed, I think I got more than my money's worth out of these.
One thing I have to add about other reviews I read before I bought these....I almost didn't get these because so many people complained until I saw that most negative comments were about the rust factor. ANY chef's quality knife is going to rust if you don't take care of it, it's actually a sign of the type of metal that good knives are made of.
If you are looking for a set of knives that you can throw haphazardly into the dishwasher, or leave lying around in the sink-these are not for you!!!
These must be hand washed after use and dried completely by hand with a cloth-that's why you see professional cooks constantly wiping their knives on an apron or towel as they work.
For best results, you're going to have to sharpen these about every half dozen uses, especially if you are cutting something like tomatoes-world's worst wear on any knife-of if you're cutting board is made of anything besides wood. It doesn't hurt them to sharpen them as needed, and better safe than sorry-a dull knife is a dangerous knife.
Great value...disregard negative reviews
I have owned these for over a month, with very heavy use. No signs of rust,and blades are razor sharp. While no they aren't "REAL" Henckels (they are from there more economical line with only one little man, not two), they also aren't $2500. People who have stated that they rust must be morons, because it says right on the box that they while they are "dishwasher safe" its not recommended. Use the knife, wash it and put it away. Is that hard to do? Its not like you use 17 knifes every day and have the wash them every day. So if you treat these like a fine piece of cutlery they will hold up like so. Any who blows away any knife set I've seen in the price range...
Not The Best, but Certainly Not The Worst
While I'm not an expert on knives or cooking, this set seems to do the job nicely. Sharp-looking angled kitchen block with soft rubber grip handles is a plus. It appears that there's one extra slot even after I filled the block, but no items were missing. Other than this, I think it's a good buy overall. As a packaging designer, I've seen all sorts of knives (many of which are of poor quality). These knives are, dare I say, a cut above the rest.
Cheap knives
These knives are exactly what I'd call "made in china" for quality. My last knife set was from job lot for $20 and they were of far superior quality. These knives are flimsy and poorly crafted. NEVER BUY THEM!
Nice Knife set
This is overall a nice set of knives, good weight and they don't bend too much. The price is the selling point here, Henckels International means "made in China or Taiwan" not Germany but overall it is a nice set. If you are the person who wants the German name this is not for you but if you want a knife that is sharp and ready to use every day, give them a try.
