 "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.

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.

 "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.
