Great knives May 12, 2008

I purchased the Twin Cuisine 8-piece block set, and I must say that the knives are fantastic. My critique, however, is of the block set as a whole.

The 8-piece set comes with the 3-inch kudamono parer and the 4-inch parer.
I don't need both of these knives.
The set came with the 5" Santoku when the 7" would be much nicer. I wish I would have done my homework prior to my purchase. But don't get me wrong, these are awesome knives.

The knives that were included with the set were chosen to entice me to purchase additional pieces. I would recommend looking into the possibility of buying open-stock knives more tailored to your own needs in the kitchen.

Beautiful January 7, 2008
Super sharp knives (both blades and appearance)! Very comfortable handling. I use every knife in this set, as well as the 6" chefs knife I purchased separately. They are worth every penny!

Impressive set of knives August 16, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought a 10-piece set of J.A. Henckels International knives at Costco, and when I brought them home, I was very much impressed. But then I thought about the knife selection and the large block, which I didn't need, and I returned them for a refund.

I ended up buying this 8-piece Twin Cuisine set from J.A. Henckels of Germany. And I must say ... there is a huge difference. The Twin Cuisine set is much heavier, much sharper, much better ergonomically. Although the International set (which is the value line made in Spain) was very nice, the Twin Cuisine knives are simply in another league. If you can find them at a good price, they aren't much more expensive.

I can see this set being my base for a lifetime.

The only piece missing, possibly, is an 8-inch serated utility knive, which is great for cutting bread. Maybe I will add that to the collection.

I Like the knoives alot, they are very well balanced. They don't quite hold a perfect edge for as long as I would like, although my expectations may be overly optimistic. In general I am very pleased.

Great knives BUT beware of Amazon January 31, 2006
6 out of 8 found this review helpful

The knives are fantastic. Great balance, solid feel and wonderful overall performance. However, beware of Amazon! The on-line description says you get a 7" hollow-edge santoku. The set actually has a 5" santoku, not the 7". They would not replace it with the correct knife (only a $10 difference if bought separately). Multiple calls later I got $59.98 credited back to me and over 1 month later the website still has not been corrected.
