Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels International Everedge 13-Piece Knife Set with Bonus Cheese Knife
Customer Review: GREAT knives - especially for the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
Look, just before these I went to Williams-Sonoma & bought a $400 set of Wuster (or however they spell it) knives. When I saw these, there were more included with the set & for a fraction of a fraction of the price! $29??? Are you kidding me? (or was it $39) Who cares!!!! I bought these right away. It's been 6+ months now & they are GREAT! Anyone shooting these down are nothing more than some kitchen utensil snobs who have nothing better to do with their money. I don't need $400 knives. If I buy these & they only last me 2-3 years... I STILL can't go wrong for the quality & price!
I suggest you read the negative reviews on this product & notice how "stuck up" they sound. Good God, they're $30 knives - you can't go wrong.
Customer Review: They're a good set of basic knives
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been long overdue to upgrade my kitchen knives. After reviewing the options and reading what others had to say, I decided to go for this Everedge set. On the plus side, overall, they are such a significant upgrade and are a delight. However, I realized that I was really yearning for a good slicing knife - not a sawing action which these blades give you. Don't get me wrong - sometimes a saw is what you need - for a tomato, for example. So, I now own another set of Henkels (the Twin Signature) and between the two sets, I have a great selection of knives for the two homes I was outfitting. I'm not a professional cook, but can fully appreciate the feel of a good knife. Maybe in time I'll upgrade to pro but for now I'm very satisfied.Customer Review: Amazon's description misstates the size; it's smaller
Summary: 4 Stars
Amazon's product description states:
Product Dimensions: 15.4 x 8.9 x 5.3 inches
I was concerned that because of the stated height it wouldn't easily fit under the light above the kitchen counter. But I figured that for the price I'd take a chance and find someplace else to put it.
However, the actual size is: 3.75" wide, 7.25" deep, and only 11" to the top of the top knife handle.
It's on the counter under the cabinet under the light, and there's plenty of room to grab that large handle top knife!
I've only had the set for three days, but so far although not impressive it seems to be quite sufficient for the purpose and good value for money.
Customer Review: Nice Knives, Excellent Deal
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent knife set for the money. Like everyone else has said in their reviews these knives are very nice and do exactly what they are supposed to: cut. Great beginner set, or at least a first time set. We just got a house and need a set of knives that do the trick. Nice case with the J.A. Henckels logo.
Pros: They're knives, they cut, they dice, they clean well
Con: They're a hard plastic that are not entirely fancy, and I like fancy.
Conclusion: if you're looking for a inexpensive knife set that cuts well and looks decent this is a great buy; but if you're expecting a deluxe knife set that looks like it cost a lot of money take a look at a more expensive set.
Customer Review: Complete garbage

Do not buy this set. Henckels should be embarrassed for having their name associated with this garbage. I've had this set for about a month and it is anything BUT stainless. You would think the knives are made of iron, they rust so much. Complete waste of money. Knives can't be sharpened; they're all serrated. This is especially bad for the chef's knife. These are not quality made knives made in Germany that Henckels is famous for. These are cheap, and made-in-China.
