Doesn't cut cleanly November 17, 2006
8 out of 10 found this review helpful

I bought this set about 5 years ago. The knives have not rusted or stained and have remained more-or-less "sharp" - I have never needed to sharpen them.

The edge has a special design to keep it permanently sharp - perhaps 50 or so jagged little "teeth" per inch.

When cutting raw meat, the edge accumulates a glob of meat on the edge which makes it impossible to continue to cut without removing it. Because of this edge, it is very difficult to cut thin slices of soft food. It seems to cut harder foods well, but I suspect it is more like ripping than slicing.

Think of these knives as kitchen saws more than kitchen knives.

I would not buy them again, despite the low price.

Nice set of knives August 16, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

We received this set as a shower gift over 5 years ago. The knives are still sharp! The steak knives are great because I use them for everyday items too. I've broken a tip on one of the knives and it was very easy to replace - just visit Henckels website the return instructions are very easy to find and follow.
These knives don't get pampered either - for 5 years they have survived the dishwasher as their only cleaning method. The block is showing some wear but nothing a little TLC won't fix.
I highly recommend this set!!!

excellent value April 18, 2003

With a limited budget, I found this set to be an excellent value to start with compared to other imported brands.
In the future, I hope to purchase a top quality JA Henckels knife set as this company comes well recommended by industry chefs and professionals.

I purchased the 13piece cutlery and have been dis-satified with the product due to their claim it doesnt need to be sharpened and they dont rust. The amount of money I spent for these supposed great knives is a real turn off on buying this product again. I cannot even find out who to contact to get them replaced or get my money back. Not happy!

poor quality knife block September 17, 2001
29 out of 40 found this review helpful

This set should be rated for Danger----The knife block is not counter balanced, simply nudging the handles of the knives, cause the block to tip forward and spill the knives out! Also the slots for the steak knives are not set wide enough apart; subsequently the six knives cannot fit into the block at once. You would think that spending almost 100 dollars for a knife set would afford a decent block. Also I don't like the strange serrated edge on the Chef's knife-disconcerting when you are chopping with it that the blade grabs onto the cutting board, causing awkward movements.
I am very disappointed and will be returning it for a refund.
