Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels International Stainless Steel 8-Piece Steak Knife Set
Customer Review: Great product, great price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these knives to replace another brand that I was unhappy with. For the price, I did not expect much. However, I am very pleased with them! They look great and have a very nice feel when you are cutting with them. I have had them for almost a month now and have no problems with them at all. I put them in the dishwasher every time they are used, which is very often, and they are not discoloring or anything. They look great after repeated washings! I would buy them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Well.....it is now December 29, 2007 and these knives are still great! I have not had any problem with them being washed in the dishwasher. They still look like they did the day that I received them. I would still recommend these knives to anyone!
Customer Review: Thin Handle
Summary: 3 Stars
I love the look of these knives, the way they cut through my steak and the fact that I paid under $20 for the set of 8 . The reason I give them a 3-star rating has to do with the design of the handles.
The handles on these steak knives are vary narrow and even in my small hands they feel awkward. The width is about 1/3" which to some may feel classy, but to me just feels 'not quite right'. While you really don't have to get a death grip on them to cut a pork chop, it's nice to have a utensil fit comfortably in your hand when you use it. Certainly a personal preference, but something to consider if you are looking at purchasing this set.
As for the 'stainless' debate...they seem stainless to me. (I hand wash and dry them after every use.)
Customer Review: Not a good choice with my set.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the complete set of J.A. Henckels 8 Piece Stylus Block Set with the extra block to hold these knives, as listed together in the option of buy all three.
These knives are inferior to that lovely set and I thought that they would make good additional knives to use when cutting things. The Stylus set has these wonderful ergonomic handles, these do not. The best thing about them is that they are made out of one solid piece of steel.
THe bad thing is that they are serated, not sharpen-able like my nice Stylus set that I love. Mismatch. They look and are made for putting down beside the dinner plate. Not for cutting vegtables on any kind of regular basis, too clunky. Not what I was expecting in that set.
Customer Review: Great sharp knives, good weight/balance, and excellent feel in your hand!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this steak knife set to go with a 45 piece flatware set from JA Henckels and was not disappointed. I am extremely happy I purchased this set along with the Henckels flatware set and both sets should last for decades. The knives are sharp, have a sold feel, look great, and are reasonably priced as it appears this set will provide years of cutting meat with ease. I highly recommend this set and thoroughly enjoy them myself. After friends have used them they usually ask where I got these because they are so impressed with the solid feel and ease in cutting meat they want a set of their own. If you get the woodblock too they look great on the counter.Customer Review: Great knives at a great price and easy to care for
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm surprised at all the reviews discussing "stains" on these knives. We use these knives ALL THE TIME, throw them in the dishwasher with no special handling, and ours have no stains. The knives are perfectly balanced, RAZOR sharp, and easy to cut with. Our guests often ask where we got them. We have had these knives for 4-6 years now. I bought the original set at a local big box discounter that starts with a "T"... I found the price on Amazon is better for the same product.
Let's see....anything critical to say... pretty much they're perfect. Would be great if they came in sets of 8 vs sets of 6.
Highly recommended!
