 "not as nice as I'd hoped" 2009-03-28
By A. Brown (Alexandria, VA United States)
I was replacing avg starter knives. I thought I was making a move to quality knives. These are not sharp. The block was awkward and took up too much counter space. I kept them, but used my old knife block.

 "JA Henkels 10-Piece Knife Set " 2009-01-07
By Lorraine (Salem, OR,, United States)
I purchased this knife set as a Christmas gift for my daughter, and she just loves it. She's pleased with how sharp they are and was absolutely tickled when she carved her rib roast nice and thin. My husband and I opened the package when it arrived and discovered the knives have a nice weight without being too heavy, are well balanced, and the handles are long enough that you can get a good, safe grip

 "not good-not bad" 2008-12-03
By Rob Edwards (Oklahoma)
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.

 "It's okay" 2008-07-15
By Ji Y. Lim (Idaho)
I used twin signature before. The quality is surely less than twin signature, but it's much cheaper than twin, too.

So, it's okay when think about the price.

 "Good value for the (sale) price." 2008-04-28
By Bob Bob (Austin, Texas USA)


I've had this knife set for almost a year now and have used it practically every day, yet it's just as beautiful as the day I bought it. One thing I noticed in particular was how much sharper it was right out of the box compared to similar collections I looked at. The bread knife is especially a joy to use; it slices french loaves effortlessly.



The variety of knives means you'll always have the right tool on hand, now matter what comes your way. This also has an added bonus if you share the kitchen with someone, and as such I think it makes an excellent couple's first knife set. For example, while I'm using the 7" santoku to slice squash for a side dish, my girlfriend can use the 5" santoku to slice cucumber for a salad; dinner is done twice as fast.





Pros:

German steel; wonderful wood block; solid, yet comfortable handles; easy to clean; good overall balance and weight.



Cons:

Although it looks like one, don't expect this to perform like a $300 knife set.



Overall:

A steal for $80!

 "Great knives for the price" 2009-05-31
By Hamitime
Bought these as a anniversary gift. We've been married for 14 years and we always bought the cheap knives that you would have to saw the heck out of to get anything to cut. Well these babies are intimidating. I stood up a piece of paper and set the knife on top without putting any pressure on it and it cut right thru the paper. We've been using these for about 9 months and they are great. They cut thru anything we throw and with ease. I'm sure these are not the greatest out there, but I would recommend if all you've used in the past are the cheappy knives.

 "Knives Not German" 2008-04-01
By workingmom (Harmony PA)
So far the knives are sharp and I hope they hold up, but the handles are plastic and they seem flimsy. Note that the blades are made in Japan and the block in Malaysia...the name, however, is German.

 "Good set of Knifes" 2007-12-25
By Gabriel Bortoni Padilla (Monterrey Mexico)
I bought this set of knifes because I needed something new and in good price, they turned out to be fare, but not what I expected, now I know that if I want a good set of knifes I should buy some made in Germany, not China.



Even though, they work good enough for what I need them for.

 "Surprised by Amazon :-(" 2007-02-28
By Bernie (Richardson, TX USA)
We bought the set to give as a gift, so we won't really know for some time how the knives fare. But we were surprised by two things. The set that Amazon shipped is not the set that is shown and described; and the box says "dishwasher safe" with an asterisk, and the footnote says "Not recommended by J. A. Henckels International"!!!!!!!



Makes you wonder who printed "dishwasher safe" on the box, doesn't it, if the manufacturer is the one who recommends not doing that.



The set that Amazon actually shipped is a 13 piece set, but it doesn't have the 8" bread knife, and it doesn't have the 6" boning knife. Instead it has a 7" Santoku knife and a kitchen shears. The shears are probably more useful than the boning knife, but this is the first time that Amazon has shipped us something that isn't what they are advertising.

Very pleased with this knife set. Very attractive and very easy to use for all types of cooking tasks.

 "Henckels" 2009-05-13

Henckels. What can I say. Very functional. When I buy knives as a gift, I always choose Henckels because once is enough and that's the end of it. You never have to buy again.

 "Great Value! Great knives!" 2008-07-19
By A. Becker (Mokena, Il)
I have had this 13 piece knife set for over a month now. The knives arrived very sharp and I have found that they hold the edge very well. Using the sharpening tool that comes with it does the job if you follow the directions and method of sharpening that they recommend. It is nice to have the knives and scissors in one location, at my fingertips. I highly recommend this set.

 "Great knives...but what is with the extra slots?" 2009-04-06
By K. Curran
I purchased 35 sets of these knifes for an event where they were used as centerpieces. Of the 35 sets, 12 of them were missing misc. knifes. Additionally, the knife block has slots for 13 knifes, but only 11 knifes come with the set. It is called a 13 piece set; however, the block itself and the sharpening rod are counted as part of the 13 pieces. Very misleading for the consumer.

 "I agree w/ J. Almand...NOT Henckels quality!! CHINA!" 2009-03-27
By E. Reid (Chicago, IL)
These knives are not the quality of REAL J.A. Henckels knives!! To be quite honest I'm surprised they would put their reputable name on them! Sharp, yes but that's about where it ends. Two of the knives in my set were warped; e.g. you slice straight down and the knife veers off to one side! The chopping knives are not well balanced. Upon arrival the some of the blades had stains or blemishes. I will say the best feature are the steak knives..razor sharp and cut flawlessly.

 "Good Knives" 2009-03-09
By Pharaoh (Miami, FL, USA)
These are very good if you get them on sale. They do lose their sharpness quite quickly and tend to rust. Don't ever put them in the dishwasher.

 "Excellent Value for the Money" 2009-01-22
By Robert Andrade (California)
First off before you go off and buy this knife set you have to realize this is the cheap version of the J.A. Henckels....hence the International. Although Amazon description says High Grade German Steel it is not. These knifes are made in China.

Some reviews here people complain of rusting ect. Now these knifes might indeed rust, but some care must be taken with them. I have had mine over 1 year now, and they have held up perfectly. I cant complain. I have taken good care of my knifes. They dont go in the dish washer, they dont stay wet very long soaking in the sink. I use them, wash and dry them and keep them sharp. The are still a very sharp

I have used and held the high end Henckels and these are a far cry from them...but so is the price. You will pay $300 or more. Twin Cuisine is a very very nice set, feels heavy and solid. The Fine edge synergy are light and thin, almost feel like they might break. Not a knife you want to take with you to a knife fight. However for the price they cant be beat. If your looking for Henckles high quality knifes go spend the extra money and dont get the International version. If your looking for a cheap good knife set that will last a long time with extra care, you cant go wrong with this set.

I dont regret ever buying this set however next time I will get a set like the Twin Cuisine's.

 "Made in China" 2008-12-23
By Robert A. Roth (Ohio)
These looked ok but were poor quality for the price. The edge didnt last long and I was dissapointed to find out that these were made in China.

 "Great set for price" 2009-04-06
By Dorothy K. Addington (Dalton, GA)
I have had this set for about 15 years. Great at first but then difficulty with sharpening. Last year I purchased the Henckel knife sharpener and now I can keep them razor sharp. Soo much better. My son kept telling me to buy the sharpener (I have used cheap sharpeners without success) but I just guessed whatever. Now I swear by the knives since I purchased the sharpener. I am going to buy a set for a wedding present and will include the sharpener as well.J.A. Henckels Twinsharp Knife Sharpener

 "Returning this item" 2008-12-22
By DIYer (California)
Most of the knives would not fit into the block, they were too large.



The santoku knife would not even cut a tomato without first piercing the tomato with the knife tip - very unsatisfactory



I realize this is an inexpensive set, but even my local supermarket sells better knives for less.



very disappointing.

 "not good-not bad" 2008-12-04
By Rob Edwards (Oklahoma)
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.

 "Satisfied" 2008-04-18
By F. Komisar
I read all the online reviews before ordering this set and they made me a little nervous, however, I'm happy to report that the knives are perfectly fine. This is my first set of nicer knives (they replaced my college knives which were bought 10 years ago from walmart!) so I don't have much to compare them to. They cut everything I want them to cut without nearly as much as my old knives and without a problem. Overall I'm very satisfied. Are there nicer knives out there? Without a doubt, but you pay a lot more for those. This is a solid starter set for a good price.

 "avoid this set" 2009-07-26
By amazon shopper
We've bought this set for our new house. After couple of washes in dishwasher blades developed rusted spots and tips broke off. Very bad quality. Our IKEA set was much more durable (over 5 years of use)

 "As advertised" 2009-05-27
By Thomas Zoumaras
The J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Synergy 17-Piece Block Set provides good quality cutlery for a phenomenally good price. Henckels has better, and far more expensive knives, but the value with this set is hard to beat. The collection is more than enough for most cooks, the craftsmanship is excellent, and the blades cut, slice, and dice nicely.

 "Nice knives to have in your kitchen too!" 2009-04-24

These knives are great knives they are sharp and look sharp to! I would recommend them to anyone who needs some good, durable, and great looking knives.

By J. Johnson (AL)
I have had this set for about 4 years now and they have served me well. Although I did buy a set of JAH shears to finish the set. My only gripe about these, are that they are top heavy which makes most of the knives roll over blade up.
