J.A. Henckels International CLASSIC 16-pc Knife Block Set

You can't beat this set for the price. We choose the forged knives. Super sharp, high quality, and nice looking to boot

Set is everything I could want. Knives are well balanced and very sharp. A delight to work with !!

My husband gave me these knives for my birthday and I love them. Everything says quality and they cut through food like butter! I really like the knife block too, it is attractive and a compact size with room for new additions.

Have always been a fan of Henckels knives. My mother and grandmother used them. Finally was gifted a set of my own this Christmas. The finish and feel of both the knives and the knife block are outstanding. I cannot wait to use and enjoy these knives for many years to come.

Quality products. My late Mom started using this cutlery many years ago and I carry on with that wise choice!

But, I'm very disappointed in the 'smallness' of the Knife handles, mostly the steak handles and the burrs on the steak knives. All but one of them has burrs on it, mostly at the tip. They're stamped knives and as such their quality isn't what I'm used to. I've owned fully forged knife sets in the past and unfortunately, this set doesn't even come close to comparing. Don't get me wrong, the scissors rock, the Chef and Carving knives are awesome and exactly as I expected - same goes for the paring and utility Knife - but the steak knives really ruin the set. Very disappointed.

Love this set! It was a gift from my daughter, and it fits beautifully in my small kitchen. The knives are of great quality and super sharp. I would definitely recommend this product.

Great set! I only gave it 4 stars because I wish it had a bread knife

Nice looking set - Knives are sharp = the only drawback is that steak knives are very thin and even with care I expect the tips - which are very very narrow- will break off. Either from use, washing or placing in the knife block.

I own a JA swilling henckels knife set that I love. This is not the same quality of set and I am disappointed. I would return it but had no choice but to keep it now unfortunately. The quality of this set is not comparable to the other set I purchased in Germany which is what I thought I was purchasing.
