Amazon.com Review
The blades in this set of slim, lightweight knives are stamped in stainless steel, and their edges are microserrated and therefore touted as never needing sharpening. The handles are formed of tough polypropylene and are seamless, allowing for better hygiene. The set includes six kitchen knives, six 5-inch steak knives, and a rubber-footed wood block that has slots for them all. The kitchen knives include an 8-inch chef's knife with a curved blade for rocking through a chopping task; a 5-inch tomato knife with a narrow, curved blade; an 8-inch bread knife; a 6-inch utility knife; a 6-inch boning knife for meats, poultry, and fish; and a 2-1/2-inch paring knife for peeling and cleaning vegetables and fruits. As a bonus, a pronged-tip knife designed to slice cheese and spear the slices is included. While the knives are dishwasher-safe, they should be hand washed to preserve their edges. Unlike Henckels's premier knives, which are made in Germany, these knives are made in China; however, they do carry the company's lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack What's in the Box

 Great set for a new kitchen October 15, 2001

Several years ago, I purchased this set as a housewarming gift for a friend, who raved about them so much that I ended up buying a set for myself. As an impoverished college student at the time, my selection really came down to the price being right. Fortunately, the knives were right, too. I still use these knives every day, 4.5 years later, often mistreating them, with no ill effects. Now that I'm ready to move on to one of the premiere lines, I will hand these down to a younger sibling, as they still have numerous years of use left in them.
This is an unbeatable deal, Great Knives Great Price February 10, 2003

Years ago, I had started a Henkels 4 Star collection, and found joy in using them. They are the kind of item that you sharpen, polish, and use caringly, the way you would treat something you plan on using for a lifetime. Well I don't live alone, and when they started getting sharpened on the face as well as the edge, I decided it was time to save them for special uses, rather than everyday. So when I saw these Henkels, especially at the Amazon.com sale price, I decided to give them a try. Glad I did. Since they don't need to be sharpened, I didn't have to worry about someone scarring the face with a sharpener. They are very sharp. They create their sharpeness with a minutely serrated edge. You have to be careful when cleaning these knives, because it is possible to cut yourself, when scrubbing along the very side edge of the blade, as well as the actual cutting edge. The serrations only go up a minute amount, but enough to cut yourself along the side of the blade. A little care when cleaning, to use a sponge or whatever, and avoid direct contact with your skin.
The solid wood holder is very nice. The Henkel logo emblazoned on the front is a nice touch for your kitchen.
I don't really have anything negative to say about these knives at all. They are sharp. The selection suits most every need. You can use them and not have to worry about them. They are durable. I am not a knife expert, but I understand that these are stamped, instead of forged and ground like their more expensive sets. Notwithstanding, they look good, cut great, and have sufficient durability to them to be used for a very long time.
I bought them when they were listed at the better price, and at that number, it pays to get a set just to keep as a gift.
Definitely a 5 star product considering the quality and the price. Hope this helps.
Best knives in 44 years of marriage! February 9, 2007

I bought these knives about 4 years ago and even though they are used and in the dish washer daily, they look and work as good as when I bought them. I have never sharpened them either and they have not dulled in the dishwasher. One of the best purchases I have ever made in 44 years~
At this price level, you can't beat these knives! August 11, 2006

I just placed an order for these knives as my first real set. My parents own this same 13-piece set, and after *at least* eight years (I grew up with these knives) they've remained very sharp and shiny. Of course, I plan to update my review once I've received my own set and have put the knives to light daily use for a few months, but having had eight+ years of experience with them at home, I know they're top-knotch if you're not willing to pay at least $100.
I give these knives 8.5 out of 10, and that's **ONLY BECAUSE** I know that for $800 Henckels knives, you'd probably get a better set of knives. But then again, who wants to drop that kinda dough on knives??
As others have noted, these are definitely towards the bottom of the ladder as far as Henckels offerings go, but that is still saying a heck of a lot as far as quality, performance, and durability go. The Japanese-made stainless steel may still be considered second to German-made steel knives (in notoriety for sure, whereas any difference in quality is debatable), but these carry the Henckels name for a reason (and I'd contend that the Japanese steel isn't all that noticeably inferior to top-knotch German steel blades anyways--they might even have perfected their craft in Japan). Really, only the most demanding (or uppity) of chefs will find these knives lackluster in any way, since I think once you get into paying $400 for knives, the next $100 will only buy you so much more in terms of quality. (I mean, really, how nice can knives get before you begin paying for names and niche appeal...?)
In any case, definitely go for these knives (I think they're a bit of a best-kept secret as far as delivering high quality at an affordable price), which have served my parents heartily for eight years and which will hopefully serve me equally well. :)
P.S. I got these for 39.99, and while Amazon's "Suggest Retail Prices" are usually overinflated, I'd say anything under $60 for these knives is probably worth it. If you're a home user (i.e. NOT A PROFESSIONAL), I doubt you'll find any insufficiencies with this set.
Great for the price November 25, 2006

These knives are quite nice for the price. Sure, they are not the quality of a Henckel's professional set, but what do you people expect for less than $50?
I admit, these do not feel as solid and as nice as the higher end models but they stay sharp and do the job well when you're on a budget.
