HENCKELS Statement Razor-Sharp 20-Piece Knife Set with Block Chef Knife Bread Knife German Engineered Knife Informed by over

I didn’t think I needed a $150 knife set until I used it. Now my old knives feel like something from a kid’s play kitchen 😂 These slice through tomatoes without squishing them 🍅 glide through meat like butter 🧈 and make chopping onions almost fun. Almost. The handles feel sturdy without being heavy, the balance is perfect, and they actually stay sharp. I’ve tossed a couple in the dishwasher and they still look brand new, but hand washing will keep them looking showroom pretty for years ✨ And honestly, they just make cooking feel a little more exciting 🥩🙌 If you cook a lot, they’re worth every penny. If you don’t cook a lot, you might start just for the pure satisfaction of using them. Read more

I would have gave it a 5, But one of the Santoku knifes must have made it through the edge beveling process. But not the sharpening process at the manufacturer. I bought them for my parents for Christmas. But it was an easy fix. I have a Work Sharp knife sharpener and cut it to the proper angle from Henckels and holy moly. It holds and edge extremely well the stainless is very hard so it took a while to cut it properly. Which is a good overall picture of how long they will last and hold their edge. It chops perfectly and all the knifes are very well balanced. The other 11 knife we got of the set. If you are not carefully you will hurt yourself. So watch the little ones. All in all extremely great set. Read more

Wonderful, high-quality knives! They are incredibly sharp and I'm wishing I had bought a new knife set years ago – didn't realize how dull my old set was. My favorite is the 7 inch santoku knife! Read more

The steel is arguably soft, but that is typical of european (particularly german) blades. The iron content of this stainless steel is high and the nickel content may be low. If left wet for long, it may develop rust spots. However, you should always clean and dry a knife after using it anyway. If taken care of, these blades will last many years. They will cut what you want and retain a nice shape. The chef's knife is great. It is the primary knife used in my kitchen. It is comfortable to use, slices through most anything with relative ease. After about ten to fifteen diced onions I like to hone the blade again to keep work quick and easy. A dull knife is much more dangerous than a sharp one they say. Despite frequent maintenance, it does an excellent job and doesn't fatigue me. The santokus are of decent quality, and feel excellent for everyday tasks. The larger one has a good weight and feeling allowing for prolonged veggie extermination, and the smaller one is light and maneuverable to really slice and shape whatever you need. The paring knife is a razor blade with a handle basically. If the chef knife is too big or unwieldy for a task, the lil guy will step up with no issue. The bread knife is sharp. It WILL cut bread. Cake too, I bet. There is another smaller serrated knife but I have yet to use it. The scissors are nothing special but provide you something to open any package of food. The steak knives are beautiful but have lesser quality steel than the bigger knives. These will straight up form rust spots if left in the sink overnight, esp along the handle and spine of the blade. Just clean them after use and they should stay pretty and sharp for ya. The included file is useful to keep my blades honed. I'd say this set is a pretty solid value for your money if you are looking for a good set of knives for the kitchen. If you don't sharpen your knives or prefer a cheap kitchenaid knife, this isn't for you. For the home cook who uses their knives for everything and appreciates them, I recommend them. Read more
