Cutlery Reviews

I received this as a birthday present last year. I really like it, but it has drawbacks. It requires a battery for the light, of course but the battery goes bad in a few months, quicker than I expected. The pen dries out fast, I probably was able to write 10 sticky notes worth with it and it is now retired as a dull letter opener! It opens now instead of writing the letters... (sigh). It proved handy to have a usb memory key with me all the time, and it looks more MacGyver than Revenge of the Nerds, which is a plus. Airlines are familiar with this device too, and they just check to make sure there is no knife and then let it pass. Mine has started to come apart and I'm going to send it back to the store I was told it was purchased. It has only been dropped maybe twice... Overall neat presentation and handy combination of everyday "work" tools, but not perfected.

My daughter had these on her wedding registry and I knew she really wanted them. She loves them and I was impressed with how sharp they are and the way they feel in your hand. A really nice balance.

I love all my Henckel knives, but this one is definitely the most versatile. It's 5" length and super sharp serrated blade make it ideal for vegetables as well as meats and smaller bread loaves. If you're not going to buy an entire set of quality knives, you really should have this one amongst the few you choose.

We have several top quality knife of different types but this relatively affordable serated knife is our first choice for chopping or slicing any sort of vegetables. My wife especially likes the feel of the handle and overall balance.

I have just received my Ulu after hearing my neighbors rave about theirs. While the price here seems good ($29.95) I was unpleasantly surprised to get charged an additional $11 for shipping and handling. The item appears to be of average quality with only minimal sanding on the bowl.

I just received my ULU set for Christmas but I can tell it is a great new addition to my kitchen. I used to be a chef so I know how important a good tool is and this is a wonderful one. It makes chopping herbs and other things so much easier. I have arthritus and this is so much easier to handle. I love this knife.

and I use it everyday. Of course, I use it to chop and dice, but also to cut pizza and sandwiches. The size, grip and weight is just right for me..not too long or heavy. I have sharpened it once in the 6 yrs or so I have had it.

Cristina Vaamonde has reviewed other cheap imported Chinese knockoffs of brand name products here on Amazon.
Just be aware that for the price you get the import version.
This is one product you should buy at a department store so you get to look and feel the product.

I can't review this knife because I didn't receive it from Amazon. They sent me the "Henckel's International Forged Pro" version, not the "Henckels Pro S" they advertise!
The Forged Pro, Model # 10227-181 is lightweight and made in China. The real thing is model number 31120-183, made in Germany.
Amazon didn't acknowledge that they made a mistake, therefore I am returning the wrong knife and buying the right one elsewhere.
I am not the only one who has been duped -- read the reviews and be careful!

Just purchased this as another step towards the Pro S set I am building. I must say that I was extremely impressed with the ease this knife chops, cubes and dices. It is RAZOR sharp out of the box, and has the nice santoku shape.

I can forsee this knife being the most used out of the entire set - very versatile and easy to use.

Can't speak for longevity, but it is very well built, and I see nothing preventing this knife from lasting 40+ years.

Great job on this one, Henckels!

This was one of the best buys for the kitchen. I hate brown lettuce, and this makes sure it doesn't turn brown. You can't beat the price, either! I recommend this to everyone!!

very Manly bread knife, very strudy and heavy. Pleasure to use,

Cuts bread from my machine very easily and doesn't make as much of a mess as other knives. Price is also very good for such a quality knife.

I've only used stamped serrated bread knives with tiny little teeth that create a mess and take some work.
I was amazed at the few crumbs this knife produced when cutting. With the weight of the knife it helps in making even slices very easy with minimum effort. Good value too.
