Amazon.com Review
These slim, light, serrated knives, true to their name, will never need sharpening. The set contains an 8-inch chef's knife; an 8-inch carving knife for slicing tasks; a 7-inch santoku; a 5-inch boning knife for meats, poultry, and fish; a 5-inch tomato knife; and a 3-inch paring knife for peeling and cleaning vegetables; as well as six 4-inch steak knives. These knives, made in Japan, don't have bolsters. Washing the knives is recommended, and they fit snugly in the rubber-footed, hardwood block, which can be placed on the counter within easy reach. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

Excellent set at reasonable price
I have been putting together a kitchen from scratch. This means that dollars are short at the same time that so many things are needed. I am pleased to say that there is/was no need to miss out on a fine knife set. In fact, while I have always valued having good knives easily available, since buying this set I have discovered that they can be an anchor for quickly pulling together a kitchen. These knives stay sharp and take care of every task. They feel comfortable in the hand. The only knife I've bought since is a cleaver to ease the preperation of asian dishes, and that was not essential. This set is a must have if you're starting from scratch.

Nice set of knives
We received this set as a shower gift over 5 years ago. The knives are still sharp! The steak knives are great because I use them for everyday items too. I've broken a tip on one of the knives and it was very easy to replace - just visit Henckels website the return instructions are very easy to find and follow.
These knives don't get pampered either - for 5 years they have survived the dishwasher as their only cleaning method. The block is showing some wear but nothing a little TLC won't fix.
I highly recommend this set!!!

poor quality knife block
This set should be rated for Danger----The knife block is not counter balanced, simply nudging the handles of the knives, cause the block to tip forward and spill the knives out! Also the slots for the steak knives are not set wide enough apart; subsequently the six knives cannot fit into the block at once. You would think that spending almost 100 dollars for a knife set would afford a decent block. Also I don't like the strange serrated edge on the Chef's knife-disconcerting when you are chopping with it that the blade grabs onto the cutting board, causing awkward movements.
I am very disappointed and will be returning it for a refund.
