[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I decided that after many years and too many cooking adventures with dull knives it was time to upgrade. I chose this set as we only needed a few knives and Henckels is what we wanted. They certainly live up to their reputation as they are nice weight, sharp and just a good buy. Any other knives I need will be henckels too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They come pretty sharp out the box, they could use a little bit of sharpening but I’ll worry about that once they’re used up a bit. I recommend buying a sharpener down the line. A dull knife is a unsafe knife. This one is sharp
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have cooked daily for forty years and have tried many different types of knives. These stand out with the feel in your hand while cutting which helps make proper cuts. They are super sharp and the blade looks like it will take sharpening well (some cheap knives’ blades are so thin you cannot sharpen more than a few times.). Other knives went in the garbage to make room for these nice knives
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yesterday morning I received my knives, just in time for all the chopping of a mixture of vegetables in preparation for two different soups to cook. There grip and sharpness was an easy process for me and a pleasure to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of these knives are what you would expect for the money. They will not be the workhorse of your kitchen knives, but they will get the job done.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying using my new knives from Henckel. They are easy for me to hold in my hand. They are SHARP!...it does not take as much effort as it did in the past to cut carrots and harder vegetables. AND....they are dishwasher safe!...that makes cleaning a breeze! I appreciate the tang of the knife being the whole length of the handle. I bought the 3 piece starter set to see if I liked the knives...and I do. I will definitely be purchasing additional knives.
