good quality for the price
I bought these as a christmas gift for my boyfriend and couldn't be happier. They might not be the knives for a professional chef, but they are perfect for anyone who wants a high-quality everyday knife set for the kitchen.
Still sharp after a year's everyday use
This set was a great value for the price. All the knives are still very sharp after a year of everyday use. We also bought the steak knives at the same time and they also have maintained sharpness.
great everyday knives
Great knives, have had for over 2 years now. I cook a lot and really wanted a good knife in the kitchen. These have good comfortable handles, easy to cut, strong thick metal blades, etc. It's definatley not the expensive version of Henckels, but great quality & economical. I've compared other versions in same price range at the stores and these have the best blades and handles. Also a plus is the "Eversharp" blade - I love it because I never have to sharpen a knife again, it's always sharp, they cut great. As with any knife they should never go in the dishwasher, but we place ours in the dishwasher from time to time and have never had any problems. I would definatley recommend.
Nice overall set
This is overall a nice set of knives, good weight and they don't bend too much. Henckels International means "made in China or Taiwan" not Germany but overall it is a nice set. I have used it for several months now and even wash them in the dishwasher with no stains or rust showing up. 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.
booo
knifes are not smooth and sharp, dont bother saving money on these spend a little more and get the orig.
if i had it to do again i would not purchase these.
