Have withstood time and use---make cooking a pleasure, July 16, 2010 By CheddarisBetterThis review is from:JA Henckels Knive Set with Block (Kitchen)

In more recent years, I ended up cooking much more often, and I learned that it's important to have good knives---not just because they cut better but it prevents injury due to straining when using a poor quality knife.

I debated between Henckels and Wusthof, but went with these as they seem to be decent quality at a reasonable price. I hear Wusthof is supposed to be better, but it's with a price tag to match.

I have no idea what's up with the people that complained about these knives' "poor quality" and rusting to the point of having to throw them away, unless the manufacturer's quality varies that much, and often. I've had these for 3.5 years now and they are still trucking. Yes, of course, unless you make a point to wash them and dry them immediately they're going to get some rust/tarnish spots on them. It doesn't render them unusable, although obviously they're not as pretty as they used to be. Bending knives??? I've never seen any of them bend strangely, as I've seen others say. I guess if you are trying to use these to cut through BONES or something, I don't know how that happened. I've never seen these guys bend on anything---I use the big 8" knife cutting carrots, and it slices through them nearly like butter.

I do agree that the tips aren't as sharp, nor get as sharp, as I would like. Knowing that, for tougher items I try to cut nearer to the base. Like the carrots, or other tough veggies, I cut them on the blade area nearer the handle. Slides right
through them.

You do need to sharpen them every now and then, but the steel quality is good enough that it keeps its edge for a while. I try to sharpen them about once a week, though, anyway, to keep them in good working order. Actually, the Wusthof 2-Stage Knife Sharpener is a great pairing for this, as I have no idea how to use the sharpening steel included in this set. It works on scissors, also, if you need them to, although I've actually never sharpened my kitchen scissors once---but they still work just fine.

In short, these are a great starter set for most people cooking at home. Unless you're a pro chef and really know the difference, I think nearly anyone would be happy with these knives.

Although we're had this set just a short time, we are quite pleased with the quality of the product. After making do with an old
less than sharp knife set, this set is great.

 

Nice Entry Level Set, December 5, 2009 By Garry BalestracciThis review is from:JA Henckels Knive Set with Block (Kitchen) I never had a "good set" of knives before. They are good quality and are every thing that I had expected Henckel knives to be. I was not disappointed.
