Celebrate Henckels 120th with a great price on this set of four knives Specially formulated high-carbon stainless-steel blades Sturdy black molded polypropylene handles Dishwasher safe, but hand washing recommended Lifetime warranty
Customer Rating: Summary: Good but expensive Comment: These knives are made of the same high quality hardened stainless steel use on all Henckels premium knives. Since there are usually used on hard porcelin, stoneware or other china plates, they keep their edge very well. I do not sharpen these knives as often as our other Henckels kitchen knives because they do not need to be quite as sharp for dining. I recently bought this set for my daughter who was spoiled using these knives during all the years she lived with us. Now that she is married and on her own, she requested these for Christmas. The knives are well made and like ours, should last the better part of a lifetime.
Customer Rating: Summary: So disappointed in Henckels Comment: I have owned and enjoyed and recommended Henckels knives for years; naturally, when I needed high quality steak knives, I went to them first. I have owned this set for less than 6 months. Tonight while merely cutting a pork chop, the blade that I was using snapped right through the steel, near the handle. There was no unusual force being applied; just an ordinary cut through tender meat.
I have had this happen with lesser knives, but never expected it with this set. I had read a review speaking of this problem at the time I ordered my steak knives but decided to disregard it and go with my experience. I hope you will listen and not waste your hard earned money.
Customer Rating: Summary: Henckels 120 Anniversary 4-Star Steak Knife Set Comment: Awesome product! We already own this set and bought 8 more for use by our guests. We owned our first set for 12 yrs and experienced great ease in cutting steaks. Periodically we sharpen the knives and we've even cleaned them in the dishwasher with no problems. I believe buying this set at this price coupled with Amazon's shipping rates, is an outstanding deal. You can not even buy this set off the shelf in Germany for this price. I know because I lived there for over 10 years and could shop on the US bases and on the economy. Enjoy your steaks!
Customer Rating: Summary: They look nice and cut well but 2 of 4 broke Comment: after just 7 months. So be aware that you might buy into some hassle by exchanging the knifes with Henckels. I am very dissappointed and will not spend that much money ($80) on knifes ever again, at least not on Henckels. My K-mart knifes hold up better.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: The cost of these knives probably puts them out of reach for the average household (who wants to spend $35 a piece for a steak knife for company to scratch against stoneware plates?), but if you want top-of-the-line knives that cut through anything, hold their edge, and feel sturdy in your hand, give these knives a second look. They compare favorably to the other more expensive Henckels, as well as the pricey Wusthof lines.
