I have had Henckels for about 8 years now and love them. They’re sleek, modern, and cut very well. We’ll stick with this brand for the foreseeable future.

This block set is a super value, and if you are looking for a gift or for yourself, this block has some of the most used knives in the kitchen. The bouns with this block is that you get four steak knives and if you have ever bought or looked at steak knife sets, you know that can be pricey. Sleek and modern looking, this set would look good in any kitchen.

Good knives aren’t cheap! Hanckels makes a high quality knife set, and this set should last a very long time. I like the fact that these are riveted together. Also appreciated is the high quality of the wood block. It looks nice! This set comes with every sort of knife I could want or need in the kitchen, including a set of four steak knives and a pair of poultry scissors. Highly recommended!

Worthy of more than 5 stars!!! Wow! These are wicked sharp! I’ve included how they’ve packaged each individual knife for shipping…first, plastic wrap…second, cardboard over the blade, third, a plastic cap over the end of each knife and forth, the end product. I figured if they took that much care in just packaging every single item with layers of protection…these must be pretty good. They are the sharpest knives that I’ve ever known. I received many different knife/block sets over the years and this is by far the best! Caution: it does say that you can put these in the dishwasher but they also mention, not only in the product material but on their website…you should never put good knives in the dishwasher. You always use warm, soapy water and it only takes a minute and worth keeping your knives at their best by doing so…This is a great knife set and would recommend these to anyone needing super-sharp knives and a knife block that looks “upscale”. 🙂

I like this knife set, especially considering its’ price. Knives stay sharp as long as I hone them regularly after use. I am very happy with the quality and the assortment of knives in the set.

Perfect assortment of single piece stainless steel knives found in a compact block. Contoured handle and light weight. Excellent value.

Not going to compete with the more expensive knife sets but this is a fantastic set for the price. They cut great and look fantastic on the countertop. Much better than the random assortment of knives I previously had

These knives are incredibly well-balanced and easy to handle, yet at the same time being very light. The wood block itself was a nice surprise because it is a slightly darker wood than you usually see making for a nice elegant presentation.

This distinctive set has every knife you could want, plus a 9-inch honing rod to maintain them. And it looks beautiful in any kitchen.The good news: if this is a set that appeals to you and the price suits you, then you just nailed it. The Definition line of Henckels International is a well-constructed collection of knives. Each knife is made from high quality stainless steel. One piece of this steel runs from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle for sturdiness and stability. The handle is arched to fit tightly into your palm, and is sculpted so your fingers in optimal position.These are excellent knives for daily use. Hone them regularly and sharpen them once a year. I hand wash all my knives so they look brand new, but they are dishwasher safe.Tip: if you are uncertain about honing your knives, check out the sets with the built in sharpening system..
