Customer Reviews

Knives are great, block should be redesigned
This set was a replacement for a $30 set I owned. The knives are a huge improvement, sharp, no flexing when cutting through hard items, and the set includes all the knives an amateur cook will use.

However, the wood block is a different story. The holes go completely through the wood block and the steak knives are too long so that the tips (of the bottom row) extend past the block. This means they scratch the owner's counter and possibly dull the knife tips. As a solution I store half the steak knives in a drawer, not ideal, but I never heard a response from an email sent to Henckels website.

If the block was redesigned it would be a five star product.

The Best of Henckels Knives
I bought this set after considering the 18 Piece Gourmet Henckels for $299 (best price I could find) knowing that this set includes the steak knives from the 18 piece gourmet line vs. the professional S. I paid $420 for the set with an on-line coupon and felt for $120 more than the Gourmet set, I would get the best traditional handle set of knives Henckels offered. Most know, these knives are German made and the Professional S series offers the best material and forging Henckels offers. The set comes with a video that is helpful and the block allows room for a few additional knives if you choose. These knives are GREAT! Sharp, easy to hold, easy to cut with, and with this set, you have so many options. I was sick of buying cheaper knives and working so hard to prepare food. These knives make it fun to cut because they are so easy to work with.
