Good Price, Low Quality February 8, 2008

This is certainly a "beginner" set. Very light weight. The rubberized feel of the handle combined with the brushed aluminum makes it look and feel even cheaper. I would encourage you to spend a little more and get a heavier weight and quality set.

Bought this product for my future Mom and Dad-in-Law who were looking to replace their old dull wooden- pretty shabby looking knives as a christmas present. The first time my mom-in-law used them I swear my husband and I heard her in absolute glee! To me the knives are a little light, but for her size and age, they're perfect!! Slice right through anything she brought to it and the santouku is her absolute favorite knife now. Dad-in-law loves how the smooth and easy the steak knives cut. For the money my fiancee and I paid for them, we think they're such a great value, we bought another set as a wedding present for a friend of ours!!!

My husband absolutely loved this knife set for Christmas. First word out of his mouth was WOW when he cut up some steaks. Handles well and cuts smooth.

i just got this set for my new apartment, and overall, i'm really happy with it. the knives are very sharp, ergonomically well designed, and look pretty on the counter. that being said, you should know that this set is not one of the higher quality henckels sets - a fact betrayed by the price. they are very light and somewhat delicate, so a bit difficult to weild with control, and poorly suited to cutting through tougher material such as bones. of course, some may find light knives convenient, but i would have preferred heavier blades and handles, especially on the bigger knives. the santoku knife was the most disappointing because it was thin and very light. the rest are fine as they are, and cut with great precision, especially given the price. there are a few of extra slots in the block, which, while strange, came in handy for my old homeless knives. also, the set pretty muuch covers the range of needs and preferences for cutting absolutely anything (except bone-in chicken/fish, since the knives are a bit delicate). if you're not looking for a lifetime keeper set, then this is a great set for you. i really love mine, and plan on keeping it until i can splurge on a $$$$ set.

An experiment gone right... July 7, 2007

About six months ago, I was walking through the discount knife section of a local department store when I saw this line's santoku and vegetable petty knife on sale for $20. In the world of cutlery, $20 is nothing, so I bought them just to see what it was like. It quickly became one of my favorite knives in my kitchen. The factory cutting edge is a little lame and overall the line feels too light to do much heavy cutting work (i.e. frozen meats, chicken bones, or thick vegetables). On a positive note, with some time and love, the edge can be ground down to be extremely sharp (enough so that I use it to cut tuna for sushi in my restaurant). Like any knife that I like, I take it to my restaurants kitchen and try it out to see how many days it can go before I need to regrind the edge. Surprisingly, it held up for an entire week without needing to be resharpened. In short, for the money, you would be hard-pressed to find a better knife.
