I've had Henckels for years; I bought this as a gift for someone who's never had a good set of knives. She can't believe the difference between her old knives and the Henckels!
I’m disappointed in the sharpness of these knives. I purchased them to use for preparing my thanksgiving dinner and these knife’s weren’t any sharper then then knives I have been using for years.

Thank you for your review — we’re sorry to hear the knife didn’t feel as sharp as expected for your holiday prep. Our Forged Premio knives are made with high-quality stainless steel and are sharpened to a consistent factory edge, so this isn’t typical. We’d be happy to take a look or help troubleshoot. Please reach out to us through our Service Center: https://www.henckels.com/us/support-center
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought my new Henckels Premio Forged 8" Chef's knife. Can't believe I spent so much money on one knife, but my sister said they are worth it and great to have a knife that doesn't need to be sharpened or seldom. Can't wait to try it out!
