 "Christine's review of Henckles cutlery" 2009-03-30
By C. Paglia (New Jersey)
I think these knives are great. They are very sharp and it definitely makes my life so much easier when slicing and chopping veggies, meats, etc. This was a smart purchase.

 "Nice knives, but a few caveats" 2009-03-17
By P. J. Statts (Richmond, VA United States)
Beware of the tricky marketing Henckel is using with these sets. Only the kitchen knives in this set are forged. The steak knives are stamped. The kitchen knives themselves are great. Solid, hefty, very well-made (in China, not Germany, if that matters to you) and extremely sharp, just like good-quality European-style knives are supposed to be. I really wish Henckels had included a Bread knife with this set, though. A Chef and Santoku knife are built to handle a lot of the same things, so why include both of those but no Bread? Rust has not been an issue for me like it has been for other reviewers. This set will be perfectly fine for casual chefs (like me), but you do get what you pay for when it comes to knives, and there's a reason why most of Henckels' other knife lines are so much more expensive than these.

By Thomas
no complains from my wife, she uses them everyday from cooking to preparing frozen fruits for ice blends...

 "They Rusted for me" 2008-10-25
By Natalie Fischer
For about a month the knives were fine until they started rusting. There are rust spots all over my set and I will be shipping them back to Henckel's in hopes that this situation will be remedied. The rust after one wash was so bad it was disintegrating the blade. I would not recommend preparing food with a rusted blade.

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.

 "Henckel Knife Set" 2008-07-12
By Cyhnthia Hawksouppa (Ridgecrest, Ca)
I like the knives and purhcased them because they "never need sharpening".

So far so good...LOL. But am disappointed that the knives have little baby rust spots after about a month of use.

 "Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!" 2006-12-20
By s. (United States)
This is a waste of good money, the construction is shoddy, they are not full tang, and they just plain look cheap. I wouldn't expect these to last very long, esp. w/heavy use. In any case, you can get better quality for the price. I got these as a "reward" at work. Yippee.

 "sharp knives" 2009-06-29
By B. Northeimer (Ephrata, PA)
The knives are very sharp and the block for storing them is beautiful! I didn't realize they were all serrated so I'm trying to make my peace with that fact. Overall, I am satisfied and the price is very reasonable compared to alot of other sets.

 "Very pretty but no functionality" 2009-05-01
By azry (Vegas)
I have owned these knives for over a year and i love the way they look on my counter. However they dont cut very well at all...i find myself using kitchen shears that I purchased in the dollar store to be working much better. Great for decor but bad for the person who actually cooks in their kitchen.

 "Very Good looking and cutting knife set" 2009-04-09
By S. Maheshwari
I ordered this set and was very excited because the price was very low compared to stores. It looks very nice and elegant and cuts very well. I love the serrated blades for tomatoes and onions which I chop a lot.

I used it for cutting chicken with bones - the handle becomes a little slippery when its held with wet hands. But I like the way it cuts.

On the whole good price and value and free shipping is the best.

 "Worth the price!" 2009-03-10
By notyourrockstar
I bought these knives about 3 months ago, and I love them! Yes, yes, they are all serrated, which is the reason I gave them 4 stars. I have never experienced "tearing" of my food, which some other reviewers have mentioned. Also, none of my knives have rust spots on them, but I have never put them in the dishwasher, and I wash them right after I use them.



Definitely worth the price!

 "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

 "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.

 "What an embarrassment" 2009-01-09
By Diana De La Pena
I purchased this knife set as a Christmas gift for my sister and I have to say...I should have listen to the reviews. My sister is so nice and she did not say anything but as I visited her place the other night I saw it. Rust on the knives!! And, in less than a 2 weeks!! Please, do not waste your money. Look for other sets. I should have.

 "Very Sharp" 2008-11-18
By jtj (Lafayette, LA USA)
I bought this set of knifes for my wife 4 months ago. We love using them, the best and worst part about them is they are so sharp. It is very easy to slice through pretty much anything. You just have to be careful, if you barely touch skin you will be putting on a band aid. Other reviews talked about how the steak knifes were junk. They are by no means junk they just aren't solid forged like the rest of the knifes, but steak knifes aren't for everyday use they are steak knifes. So unless you are strickly carnivores they will be very good and last a long time.

 "Rust issues" 2008-11-04
By Michael Armani (LOS ANGELES, CA USA)
I bought this set a couple of months ago the knives developed rust spots almost immediately. When I exchanged them, the second set had the same problem: RUST! The steak knives are very cheaply made and will dent easily, but more importantly, if you leave any of the knives in the sink overnight, by the next morning you'll find rust spots all over them. This is truly an inferior product.

 "Excellent, will far surpass most users' expectations" 2008-07-30
By Steven Quigley (Pasadena, MD USA)
This is a variation of my review of the J.A. Henckels International Forged Synergy 13-Piece Knife Set. But this 16-piece set is the one I'd recommend, so here goes... My wife and I have been using the Forged Synergy knives for about 2 years, and we couldn't be happier with them. They are well made, well-balanced, have beautiful handles, a nice finish, and hold a very sharp edge--we've sliced tomatoes with all of them. If you're buying your first set of fine knives, these WILL hold up to the Henckels reputation for quality.



Now regarding what some others have said about rusting and quality, I'll just add my two cents. There is a "Forged Synergy" and a "Fine Edge Synergy" series, and the main kitchen knives in those sets are NOT the same (though the steak knives appear to be so). The forged series has a metal tine that runs all the way through the handle with the black grips riveted on. The J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Synergy 13-Piece Block Set is totally different--see the Amazon photos and descriptions for yourself. Yes, this Forged Synergy set is also made in China (not Spain or Germany like some of the more expensive Henckels sets that are 2 to 5 times more expensive), but the quality is still excellent and should far surpass most users' expectations.



Regarding rust spots, we've had none. However, there are two main types of stainless steel: one is harder and slightly less stain resistant; the other is more stain resistant but slightly softer. That means that you give up a little stain resistance to have a knife that holds a sharper edge longer. I think that's much more important than having to clean an occasional rust spot off if it were to occur. And usually, rust spots come from cheap kitchen gadgets whose rust sticks to the stainless--not that the stainless itself is rusting.



There are only two minor faults I find with this set (that didn't stop me from buying it, however). The kitchen shears are excellent quality and cut great, but the two parts should be easily separable for cleaning purposes. You'll see this in newer shear designs, and it's not a feature that would add to the cost. Also, the black finished knife block will eventually show wear and tear from missing when inserting knives into the slots. I'd have prefered a standard maple block. Lastly, for a few dollars more, I recommend the 16-piece version of this set over the 13-piece set because you get three more knives for about the price of one more.

 "Excellent!" 2008-05-26
By Randall Flagg (CASTLE ROCK, CO United States)
Great product. Much easier to use and maintain than other much more expensive Henckels knives. Holds a wonderful edge without constantly turning to the steel.

 "Still sharp after a year's everyday use" 2008-12-19
By Objective Subjective (TX USA)
This set was a great value for the price. All the knives are still very sharp after a year of everyday use. We also bought the steak knives at the same time and they also have maintained sharpness.

 "great everyday knives" 2008-12-10
By M. Haddix (Aberdeen, MD)
Great knives, have had for over 2 years now. I cook a lot and really wanted a good knife in the kitchen. These have good comfortable handles, easy to cut, strong thick metal blades, etc. It's definatley not the expensive version of Henckels, but great quality & economical. I've compared other versions in same price range at the stores and these have the best blades and handles. Also a plus is the "Eversharp" blade - I love it because I never have to sharpen a knife again, it's always sharp, they cut great. As with any knife they should never go in the dishwasher, but we place ours in the dishwasher from time to time and have never had any problems. I would definatley recommend.
