Amazon.com Review
With their slim, thin blades curving up to a sharp point, these knives slice a steak into precise bites. "International Classic" is a moderately priced cutlery line made in countries other than Henckels's home of Germany. Henckels's "International Traditional" line is identical except it has hardwood handles. Steel is of lesser quality than Henckels' premier lines. The knives are dishwasher-safe, but not recommended. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

What great knives!
Once Again, Henckels has another great product. The steak knives work wonderfully, slicing through even tough cuts of meat is if they were butter.

My husband and I LOVE these knives. We use them all the time. They clean really nicely and always remain sharp.

A great buy at any price!

Just OK
I love Henckel knives, and I expect a lot out of them.

I paid 80$ for this set and I was dissapointed. The blade is a little thin. The handle is a bit small. The finish on the blade was a little rough.

These knives are manufactured in Spain, not in Germany and it shows. For 80$ you can find better knives than these.

Great quality set, but higher maintenance
You expect the Henckels name to presume quality craftsmanship, personal choices for everyone, and ultimately some of the most useful and reliable knives that you will ever own. I've only been using my new set for about a month and a half, but what I presumed has been almost entirely true. This set is great, and I certainly would recommend it to anyone so long as they understand the following two negatives that I've found while using them.

(1) The handles are smaller than what one might expect. My wife and I looked at these in the store and agreed that the size was acceptable to us, but I'm sure, and have seen other reviews, that some people will not like the slenderness and lightweight design.
(2) These knives survive best when not used in dishwashers, and Henckels even states that they should not be dishwashed. So I always clean, rinse, and dry one knife at a time whenever I use them. Thus they are a bit higher maintenance than that 29.99 16-piece set that you can get at Walmart.

A great set of knives but they require more caring owners.
