Cutlery Sets Reviews

We had to return our first set since they started rusting after the FIRST run through the dishwasher. They're sharp, but high maintenance.

This is a nice set. They are not the sharpest knives I've ever used, but if you work on them with a good sharpener for a bit, they're fine. I'm not so sure how much they hold an edge for, but they look like they're good quality. They're cetainly very beautiful.

If you are tired of your knife sets that don't cut without having to feel like your sawing through it this is the set you need. Cuts through meat and veggies in a snap. It also is perfect for wedding gifts. The box is not as durable as I would like, but still good for storage.

Why is everyone complaining about the case? It's Free. Not the best quality, who cares. The knifes are great. Good looking, sharp, and seems high quality. So what if they are made in China, isn't everything? However, it does make it sound like it's made in germany. You get what you pay for folks. $100 for 2 Santoku knifes, that's what you'd pay for One Henckles or Wusthof.

I ended up returning them because of the ugly washed burnt orange handles. Didn't look so bad in the picture, or on her show. I just couldn't stand the color.

But hey, if you love Rachel Rey, you do get a nifty CD-Rom on how to sharpen kifes, gotta love the value.

I work for a kitchen cutlery company called CUTCO..some of you may have heard it before. This company teaches you everything there is to know about knives. SAM" knows what he is talking about too. HIGH carbon steel blades will rust but..maintain a sharper edge longer though. Stainless steel blades wont rust but are much softer which will make them dull quicker. Sam was right when he said 420 grade steel is the best steel for kitchen cutlery without taking exotic steps to make it better. Well just to let you guys know CUTCO has a 440 grade steel...that wont rust. There is alot more to discover from cutco..so just visit CUTCO's website. Youll love the "forever guarantee".

These knives are amazing for the price. you can't beat it! they are sturdy, cut amazingly well, never need to be sharpened and i haven't had any problems with rust! I never put them in the dishwasher because i know that they would probably start to rust. its so easy just to hand wash them. Nothing will stick the to blade so its an easy rinse wipe and your done!! For anyone looking to buy great knives but don't want to spend a lot of dough, this is the buy for sure!

Obviously the people who gave a bad review on these knives all just lazily threw their knives into the dishwasher. GOOD QUALITY KNIVES SHOULDN'T BE THROWN IN A DISHWASHER. HAND WASH ONLY! I don't care if the label said it was dish washer safe. Don't always believe what you read. Dish washer safe is on alot of things, but sometimes the dish washer doesn't even do the best of jobs. ALL KNIVES ARE TO BE HAND WASHED! The dish washer will damage the blade. And you must have the common sense to think that anything sharp thrown into a dish washer is going to get thrown around and the tip banging against things will eventually become worn to the point where you can't even sharpen it the best anymore. Oh...and...STAINLESS STEEL MEANS SPOT-FREE WHEN IT DRIES AND SUCH, NOT RUST-FREE!!!!!! Some people shouldn't be given knives.

These steak knives cut through steak so easily---it is hard to believe that you are cutting meat. I would highly recommend the Henckels steak knife set. I ordered this set to go with the full Henckels knife set that we had already purchased & found that this is truly the best set of knives we have ever owned. Most likely this will be the last set we need to purchase since they stay sharp & are extremely well constructed.

These knives are great. They are very sharp and of high quality.

henckels is the best. will never buy any other. The best steel, love the way they cut great balance. you cant beat the price. luv luv luv them. Rose Petito

I bought this set based on the reviews, please shop cautiously for this brand of knife to make sure you "know" what you're getting. These knives are sharper than any knife I have owned or seen. Comes with a great sharpener that will put a real edge on your other knife collections too. I have The Henckels steak knife set too and I quite satisfied with this purchase am sure anyone will, very reasonable price.

Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Block Set is exactly what I'd hoped that it would be: a quality set of knives that is ideal for the home.

The set of Henckels that I've owned since the mid-80s finally gave in to a lot of use, sharpenings and dishwashings (dishwashing a good knife is a nice way to shorten the handle's life expectancy!). But 20 years of great service from my previous set of Henckels certainly warranted a loyal update/upgrade to another Henckels set.

And I am not disappointed. The new set is quite sturdy. Home users will be impressed with their strength; pros might be used to a higher standard, but I used to work in a professional kitchen and I can't see how these would not be as effective as anything a pro has.

These knives come out of the box SHARP too...a lot sharper than the sharpest that I've ever had my previous set sharpened to.

There were two descriptions from Amazon that tell you what you get; one of Amazon's descriptions included a carving knife (product description) and the other a peeling knife (what's in the box). Amazon seems to have corrected the error as of this updated 2-13-2006 writing. To be sure, here's what you actually get:

- 2 1/2" peeling knife
- 4" paring knife
- 5" serrated knife
- 8" chef's knife...this baby cuts through a roast like a hot knife through butter even though it's designed for chopping and dicing. In my opinion, it's better than a carving knife.
- a sharpening steel
- kitchen shears
- and a storage block with 11 slots which is great because some of the knives, especially the serrated knives, from my old set are still in mint shape (like the 8" bread knife), so there's plenty of room in the block for knives in your current collection looking for a new place to sleep.

No 8" carving knife. But like I said above, the 8" chef's knife works better than any carving knife that I've used.

The only things missing from this set for the average home is a nice large bread knife (as I said this was not a problem for me) and steak knives (also not a problem as most households already have these). Plain and simple, this is a great set of food preparation knives that--if my previous set is any indication--will last for decades.

Bon Appetite.

A very solid knife set, especially with the extra slots for those who have a few "favorite" knifes left in the drawer. MAKE SURE when you buy Henckels to get the "twin" set instead of the single little henckel-man, that's a big upgrade in quality. Oh, and for goodness sake people, quit putting your knife set through the dishwasher and just clean them as you go.

Great set I just wish the larger knives would of been sharper, but that's ok it come with a sharpner

I bought these to use at home, where I cook 4-5 nights per week. I have had my set for over a year now, and am very pleased with them. All the knives have stayed so sharp that I did not need to sharpen them. I like the versatility of having so many different knives and they look great in the block on my counter. I am very pleased with my purchase!
If I worked in a restaurant and did hours of prep work, I would probably want a set with more heft, but these are fine for me. And what a price!

I got exactly what it said it was and it arrived quickly and in great condition. It has every cutting implement I could want and it is all very good quality. I am completely thrilled. It is a very good buy for the money and I was impressed.

I have had these knives for over a year and of all the knives I have owned they are the best. They may not compare to the high-end knives made by this brand, but they are great for the typical family. I am very very satisfied with them!

great set of knives! perfect for any uses and i am reasonably pleased with all facets of each knife included!

This knife became dull in 3 months with very little use. I only use this knife 2-3 times a week cutting meats and vegi's. Now I have to go get it sharpened as it can't even cut a pineapple properly.

Better spend a bit more on a decent knife than on this low-end set.

Don't know a whole lot about knives but I know what I like. This is a really nice knife, it has good weight and a very comfortable grip. The blade is rather long, so I would suggest this as something to augment what you already have. The sheath is made of a sturdy hard plastic and locks solidly onto the blade.

The cutting board is a VERY nice added bonus. I got this when Amazon had it for 20 beans but I have noticed that it has gone up recently. If you see that it is this price again then I recommend that you snatch a set for yourself or your favorite cook.

I have used every major brand of cutlery and I can tell you there is no better value than analon knives. I have been cooking and managing restuarants for over 30 years and I have found that the $100 knives are no better than thr $25 ones. The analon product looks and feels just as nice as the most expnesive brands out there and is one third the price. Try them you will love them. I might add that all knives have to be reground from time to time as the edge will become blunt and no sharpener will restore it. When this happens find a local grinding service and have them restored. A good knife can last you a lifetime if you take care of it happy chopping Mike

I had been searching for a knife set for quite some time. I wasn't sure, however, if I was prepared to pay for the more expensive sets. I saw this set at a major department store on sale, so I went ahead and bought it. My first impression was that the knives are sharp, very stylish, well balanced, and not too heavy. The latter is a wonderful feature, especially for my husband who suffers from carpel tunnel syndrome. He feels the knives are a very comfortable grip. Their sharpness actually makes chopping and dicing a fun task.
A minor drawback from this set is that the vault is rather bulky and takes up a bit more counter space than an average wood block. Also, another more important drawback I noticed was that you need to wash and dry these knives almost immediately after using them otherwise they will begin to develop rust spots. This actually disappointed me very much and I tried contacting Cuisinart but to no avail. So, I will keep my set and continue to make sure they don't sit for too long after being used. For this reason I give this set 3 stars. I would like to give 3.5 but that option does not exist in this rating system.

I have several sets, by several manufacturers. These are the ones I use the most. Very sharp, and they keep their sharpness. Be very careful with these knives. Regarding the issue of needing to dry these after washing them. Yes that is correct. Now they don't rust, and really the tarnishing is very slight should you leave them wet (and will clean off with barkeepers helper, the same thing you use on Calphalon pans, available at Walmart for $1.50). You can't put good knives in a dish washer anyway, it is no big deal to give them a wipe. Just be careful not to cut yourself. However, one must understand that there is an inverse relation between sharpness/durability of edge, and "stainless" quality. These knives use a alloy that finds a balance between not rusting, and still being easy to sharpen to a fine edge, keeping a good edge for a long time. I personally will take sharper knives, and take 5 seconds to wipe them and put them away immediately. I don't think you can find knives of better quality at this price.

This was my last shot at buying a low priced knife set. After trying several others and having to simply toss them out, I finally found a set that is a keeper.
The knives are very sharp and heavy....well worth the money spent!

I was very pleased to find this set of knives at such an affordable price. I was even more pleased at the quality of the set. I knew, with the Farberware name on it, I would be satisfied but I got more than I expected.
The knives are sturdily made with a nice sharp edge and a comfortable grip. The block they come with sets up nicely too. I was especially happy with the serated edge on the steak knives.
