5.0 out of 5 stars Great Set of Knives Large very attractive knife set! The block is solid wood and heavy in a cool dark pewter color with padded slots, doesn’t shift around on the Counter at all. The knife steel is thick (I can’t bend it) and VERY sharp. I’ve tried out every knife and they all cut great, scissors work well too. Handles are a pretty pearly off white and comfortable to hold. The entire set looks great on my kitchen counter and includes just about every kind of knife you could possibly need. So far I’m loving this set a lot especially for the price.Variation: Color: White

5.0 out of 5 stars Super or Zuper as they say in Germany.... Great Set Great Price - and Forged as Well I learned a lot about knives in looking for the perfect set – more than I thought I needed but let’s get to the basics. First beware of any knife set which is not forged. I first tried a Henkels International set which is NOT Henkels of the German variety (named Zwillig) which is much higher grade and made in Germany. Forged knives have a bevel leading into the knife, not a solid sheet which goes into the handle and you can see the sheet in the handle usually or it comes straight out. Those ‘plated steel’ knives are usually cheaper and the Henkel folks make those out of India, China and elsewhere and they are not worth buying – unless you like knives that feel and bend like tin. So the journey started with what not to buy and after a lot of research on the high and medium end, I settled on these – why ? Price. Yes. Forged . Yes. Great look. Yes, More knives in the set than others? Yes. But the result wasn’t clear until they arrived and I was more than surprised on what a find these were. They are advertised as German steel, ok, and may have been made in China, but the key for the pricing point is that they are impeccably made. Strong, bevelled knives, which gives them substance and stability, really terrific weighted handles which are perfectly balanced and, man, they are sharp. VERY sharp. They cut through everything so far like butter. So much so I took a nice slice of a finger while gently cutting up a banana with one of the set of the serrated dinner knives (also very sharp) one morning – with almost no pressure it went right through the fruit and into my finger leaving a memorable gash (it healed, no worries). Blame me not the knives ! The larger knives are really substantial, some of the shorter ones a little less weighty but still excellent and that set of serrated steak/ dinner knives a knock out . The set also has about 7-8 more pieces than others comparably priced. You may not use them all but fun to have and why not? I can’t think of a better purchase in the last few years in terms of value for money and functionality.Variation: Color: Black

4.0 out of 5 stars Would be 5 stars but, The block has to grow on me. These knives are extremely sharp!! The handles are very well made and comfortable. Everything was packaged very nicely as well . I have not had them long enough to comment on the reviews that have a problem rusting but, it does say in the instructions to NOT run them in a dishwasher for ” best experience “. So far , my ONLY compmaint is the block !!! And a block it is . It is beautiful but , the leaned forward position of it has a huge footprint on the counter. Almost every other knife set we have owned or have looked at , the knife handles sat much more vertical. Wife loves the knives and the set …she hasn’t made up her mind on that block . I think if it was up about 4” , it would be perfect .Variation: Color: Black
