Equip your kitchen with a set of knives from one of the most esteemed names in cutlery.

The blades in this set of slim, lightweight knives are stamped in stainless steel, and their edges are microserrated and therefore touted as never needing sharpening. The handles are formed of tough polypropylene and are seamless, allowing for better hygiene. The set includes six kitchen knives, six 5-inch steak knives, and a rubber-footed wood block that has slots for them all. The kitchen knives include an 8-inch chef's knife with a curved blade for rocking through a chopping task; a 5-inch tomato knife with a narrow, curved blade; an 8-inch bread knife; a 6-inch utility knife; a 6-inch boning knife for meats, poultry, and fish; and a 2-1/2-inch paring knife for peeling and cleaning vegetables and fruits. As a bonus, a pronged-tip knife designed to slice cheese and spear the slices is included. While the knives are dishwasher-safe, they should be hand washed to preserve their edges. Unlike Henckels's premier knives, which are made in Germany, these knives are made in China; however, they do carry the company's lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack What's in the Box

Nice Knife set
»
This is overall a nice set of knives, good weight and they don't bend too much. The price is the selling point here, Henckels International means "made in China or Taiwan" not Germany but overall it is a nice set. If you are the person who wants the German name this is not for you but if you want a knife that is sharp and ready to use every day, give them a try.

These knives are really very nice and cute looking. Also, has the best performance for the price I paid. This knieves set is parfect for home use only. I've been using them for the last 6 months and still pretty sharp.

Sharp deal

I need a bread knife. This set looked like a good bargain so what the heck. The bread knife is perfect. The tomato knife is fantastic. The steak knives actually cut steak. This set really is a great bargain.
A real cut up.

Good value; price + quality
»
There is a nice set of reviews out for this product (except for the most popular one, the dissertation on buying knives, which is interesting, but irrelevant to this product).
Given that, I just wanted to add my voice to those who note that this set provides a nice mix of price and quality.
Sure, these aren't the best knives out there. But they're cheap, and they're sturdy. They have worked well for us around the house, for eating, and daily food preparation. The blades and handles will last, and will provide many years of use.
I will be the first to acknowledge that there are knives out there of higher quality. And while the discount here on amazon looks impressive, it is a bit misleading -- there is no way these knives are worth the list price.
But for the price -- again, that is the dealmaker here -- I think you can do yourself and family well picking this set up. If you don't want to spend several hundred dollars on daily-use kitchen knives, I think you have found a good choice with this option.

Value for the $
»
I bought this as a house-warming present for a friend, and though they're not the classic Henckels knives, for the money they are definitely a good buy. Good heft, very sharp and for the low-key cooking she's going to do I expect them to give her very good service.
