This is made in China so that is how it is value priced but you can be confident in the quality because it is still Henckels design and performance. You get 12 pieces meaning every blade shape you could want for your kitchen.

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.

The Henckels Definition 12 piece Knife Block Set is the Perfect Set for Homeowners and a Great Starter Set. The High Carbon Stainless Steel is Easy to Hone or Sharpen. I like the Large Varity of Knifes. Well made with the steel going through the handles and three rivet design is hard to beat for the price of the set. The Hardwood storage Block is Great for keeping your set in one place. Great Value.

This is the perfect set to start out with if $$ are an issue. They are designed just like the knives made in Germany and it’s German steel so I know they’re going to stay sharp. My favorite knife is the 5″ santoku, not often found in any set. It’s a great little chopper and is super sharp.

The set is exactly what I wanted and needed. The knives are sharp and ergonomically designed. The added knife block is an added benefit. The scissors and sharpener only make it better.

When a block set has filled all slots in it, you know it’s not just a value block set. It is proving everything you need in one place, even a shear and honing are easy reached!

These knives cut great, however, I was very disappointed to see the staining on the blade that happened after the first use! My husband used the knife to cut a roast and when I washed the knife, less than an hour later, there were stains and marks left on the knife from the roast. We have had a set of knives for over 15 years (from another brand) that we never had this problem with. The staining is the only reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5 star. I know the staining does not affect the use of the knife, however, for the price we paid for this set I don’t feel the knives should stain….especially since they are stainless steel.

These knives are the perfect weight, not too heavy and not too light. Right out of the box they are super sharp and the wood block add a nice display to my counter.

I was excited about this product. I’ve used many different knives from this company before. I haven’t gotten to use them a whole lot yet as I just received them, but everything arrived and unpacked quite nicely. The only thing I was a little disappointed by was the weight. I two other knives (chefs and paring) that have a good solid weight to them and I think they’ve spoiled me. These were a little lighter than I was expecting. But for the price a good buy! Sharp and this set had all the different knives I wanted. Wood is a little lighter than pictured but that’s not a problem.
