HENCKELS Premium 12-Piece German Knife Set with Block - Razor Sharp Stainless Steel Kitchen Knives for Professional Chefs & Home Cooking - Dishwasher Safe Cutlery Set for Meat, Vegetables & Fruits

I bought these knives for my new apartment and they exceeded my expectations. The blades are very sharp and the wood block is solid and aesthetic. The knives are sturdy and the handles are comfortable to hold. The handles themselves are very heavy so it felt a little bit unbalanced at first for me (the blades are quite light) but I quickly got used to it. Would definitely recommendI’ve had the same set of knives for 30 years and it was time for something high quality and sharp. Wow! These are fantastic. I used the knife sharper on an old dull knife and it worked extremely well - old knife sharp again! I got the 20 set because I wanted the 8 steak knives. I always hand wash and with these, I’ll dry immediately. Super happy.We are setting up our new kitchen and wanted to get something that will last us a long time. This was definitely ? the right choice. The knives feel sturdy but well balanced in your hand. The grip is not too big ensuring safe handling, which is important with knives as brilliantly sharp as these.Absolutely thrilled with this purchase. Don't think about it just buy them!I don’t know if I was just using dull cheap knives before, or these things are super sharp. But these knives cut with such ease! They are very sleek and don’t take up a lot of room on the counter. I am not a professional chef, just an average chef and I would recommend these knives to anyone. For the quality, the price point is perfect!I bought this set as it was on sale and am very happy with the purchase. The handles are much bigger than I anticipated, but I’m not disappointed as they are still very easy to hold on to.I’m excited going into the weekend to be able to use these and put them to work. I’m very happy with the sharpness from the factory.Being a guy who provides sharpening service and sharpening by hand on a whetstone, I really can’t wait to sharpen them.Overall, happy with my purchase.It was time to finally purchase my own knife set and I am glad I did. This set comes with everything you need and the block keeps them nicely organized. The knives are easy to hold and clean. Great value for the price.I've been loyal to another brand for far too long! These knives are affordable, sharp, and easy to use. Just the right weight, comfortable in my hand, and very little effort to slice veggies and meats. The wood block that came with it fits perfectly where I need it. I haven't needed to use the sharpener yet, but it looks fairly straightforward based on the included directions.Knife set was purchased to replace our cheap knives and this was an excellent upgrade. I do not have any rust issues as mentioned in some of the other reviews. Just as long as you do not put them in the dishwasher and hand-wash then towel dry right away, you will not have any rust.We own a higher quality set of Henckels and so the price of this seemed too little. These were a gift and I was able to hold them and use them. Not as weighty as ours for the most part, but they were incredibly sharp and cut--like a knife. These are a great starter set and while I like the heavier metal knives, these ones are great value. I avoid dishwashers for my knives and I would recommend that with these.Bought this set to replace an older set of a different brand. Liked the number of knives that came in the set, many at a similar price point have 12 or less. Knife blades are light, but appear to be solid, good cutting edge & sharpness right out of the box. Handles may be a bit blocky for some people, but I have larger hands, so they work for me.Daría 5 estrellas pero algunos de los cuchillos llegaron con manchitas de oxidado - parecen superficial y no están aumentando.En términos de uso día a día estoy muy feliz. Retienen el filo y el juego es muy practicoGreat product. Simple and sleek design. I've had the product for a month now and do a fair amount of cooking and then I seem to be retaining their Edge. Great products for the priceUn cuchillo estaba ligeramente dañado de la hoja, pero algo insignificante, también un poco maltratados del mango pero no vale la pena regresarlos por detalles mínimos que casi no se notanPero en general cortan muy bien y la calidad es buena
