One of the first sets I bought for myself was a Henckels Classic set. It has been a great set and each and every knife continues to perform. These knives take and hold an edge so well. This set comes with a carving set! That's a such a bonus!
I love how these knives are made in Spain and not China like a lot of the other knives in this price range. I also love how the look great on my counter and I love how this set comes with steak knives.
The quality on this set is really good. I think this new Classic line is much more comfortable and polished than the older version. I would recommend these now that they have been redesigned, much better quality for the price!
These knives are exceptionally sharp and cut through everything so nicely. There is a knife for every need, I really love that it has a serrated utility knife. This is a set of knives that will last a lifetime.
You can't beat the quality of these knives especially at the price. They have all the quality features of far more expensive knives, including 3 rivets, great balance and incredibly sharp blades. You get a knife for virtually every kitchen task. The block is beautiful and compact so it doesn't take up too much room on your counter.
This set is top of its' class for a value line. It has a classic look with a riveted handle and German steel. I was impressed with the sharpness of these knives and how well it has held an edge. I certainly recommend this to others!
This has everything you need, without paying a large amount for a great block set. I love that it has a carving knife & extra slots for all those other knives I like to keep handy. The steak knives are also great to have for those meat-meals. I also like the darker-wood block.
