Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 4-Piece Steak Set (Kitchen) Received the “Pro” kitchen set as a gift for Christmas. ....They are sharper than any other knife, cut through everything like butter, and hold very naturally in your hand. So, when I received a gift certificate for Amazon, I thought “why not”… I’ll get a matching steak knife set .... But ONCE AGAIN, I found that the price is worth it… I LOVE MY HENCKEL "PRO" KNIVES!!! This will be the last set I’ll ever have to buy. Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 4-Piece Steak Set (Kitchen) The bogus MSRP price in this listing aside, the $99 is the typical street price for this set and it's not cheap but so worth it. Very good quality in blade and handle..

J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 7-Piece Knife Set with Block (Kitchen) Although very sharp out of the box, these knives have nothing in common with the products one expects from Henckels. The editorial review says the steel is not of the same quality. Well, there is a lot less of it as well. The knives are extremely light weight and there is quite a bit if flex in the blades if you are cutting anything more tenacious than veggies. The block and steel are fine and the set is probably an decent value for the money - but that is about it. J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 7-Piece Knife Set with Block (Kitchen) I have owned these knives for approx. 4 years, and I think they are great. I agree that the are thin and light weight, but unless you plan on hacking through bone often, this is an impressive little set..

Wusthof Gourmet 6-Piece Steak-Knife Set (Kitchen) These are not what you'd expect from Wusthof. The Wusthof symbol on the handle is a STICKER (!!!) which bleaches out after washing. Also, after 1 months use and washing, we're getting rust spots. While these knives are sharp, they are not holding up appearance wise. Very disappointed. Wusthof Gourmet 6-Piece Steak-Knife Set (Kitchen) I have had these for a few years. After the first year one of the tips broke off. A couple of years later another tip broke off, this time cutting an apple. I don't have the warranty to know where to return these to, so I am stuck with them, but seriously I just want some better knives rather than paying to ship the bad ones somewhere and wait for a possible refund..

Wusthof Classic 5-Piece Studio Knife Set (Kitchen) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) I've owned Classic Wusthof knives for thirty years and I will continue to use them forever. I had the chance to try out this "Studio Set" of Wusthof knives in the Classic line, as well as the same size set in the "Gourmet" line. The latter is a budget Wusthof--stamped, rather than forged like these knives. While they are very good--and particularly sharp--I still recommend buying the set of Classic knives, currently $50.00 more than the Gourmet, if you you can afford it. They have a really nice heft to them and if you treat them well, they should last forever. The big knife in this set is a six inch Chef Knife, which many people will find quite handy, but which isn't really big enough to do all that a chef knife should do. I am an average sized woman, and my home set includes an eight inch chef knife, which I use almost every day. This is the right size for most people. I do like using this smaller chef's knife, it is quick and nimble, but it would not allow me to chop through a butternut squash or a head of cabbage. If you buy this set, perhaps you could supplement it later with a cleaver or a Santuko knife to do these jobs.The two smaller knives are a useful paring knife and a similar but longer utility knife. The paring knife is essential for fine work in the kitchen. The other one is useful also, but not essential. A good addition to the set would be a serrated bread knife. I like the kitchen shears in this set. They cut through chicken just as well as they snip herbs. The knife block is compact and solidly built.This is a good little set and will fit the niche for people who really have a small kitchen like a studio apartment or an RV, or who just aren't ready to get a bigger set of top-quality knives yet. I enjoyed using them, and I hope this helps. .

Ginsu 14-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Block Set, with Black Block (Kitchen) My lastest purchase of the Ginsu Knives were a gift for my son and his wife. He bought me a set in 1989 while he was in the Army. They are still the first knives I reach for. Still as sharp as the day he gave them to me. They are the best knives I have ever had. I will only purchase the Ginsu Knives for myself or gifts because of their 50 year warrenty and quality. Ginsu 14-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Block Set, with Black Block (Kitchen) I am simply amazed at what people consider quality. If you look at most of these reviews they are basing the quality of these knives if they have rusted..

French Laguiole Stainless 6-Piece Steak Knife Set I saw these knives on trip to Las Vegas. We were eating a Bao and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. I wanted to have something to remember that meal by so I found these knives which we discussed with the waiter at the restuaraunt. Beyond my own memory, they are a sturdy knife that should last a long time and they add a little something more to a tale setting. Very nice. French Laguiole Stainless 6-Piece Steak Knife Set I am thrilled with these knives. They have a serrated edge and are extremely sharp. You will never have to sharpen them. I have a friend who bought the same make several years ago and hers are still as sharp as the day she got them..

Saber F-11 Working Chef Knives with Chefs Knife Bag (Kitchen) I am pretty picky about the knives I use in the kitchen. I am not a professional chef, but I enjoy cooking a lot. I had heard many good things about these knives and was in the market to replace my aging set of Henkel Four Star knives. I have owned my Henkels for over 20 years. They have held up very well and I really enjoyed the feel of them when cutting. When my wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I showed her this set of knives. She was initally skeptical of them because of the price. I paid about twice this much for my Henkels 20 years ago. I told her that they had excellent reviews plus you get a great knife bag. Great construction with a full tang design. So Christmas morning, I open my gifts and find this set of knives! Well, I decided to put them all into the knife bag until I got a new knife block to keep them in. I did not like my current block because you had to put the knives in either blade up or down. I wanted a block that held the knives sideways - no dulling the blades putting them in or out. Anyway, I ended up cutting my finger because I wanted to 'feel' the blade to see if they were shape. They are! After having used these knives for several months, they are definitely the best knives I have ever used. Much better than my Henkels. I have not had to sharpen the blades or even use the steel on them yet. They have seen four months of use and are still as sharp as the day I got them. They are well balanced and feel good in my hand. One of my favorite knives is the bread knife. I can slice bread without smashing the loaf. Just a few gentle stroke and you have a clean sliced piece of bread. I have not had any trouble with cutting meat, chicken, vegetables or fruit. These knives are amazing. They cut everything like it was butter. I especially like how they feel in my hand. I also like the look of the scalloped edges. If you are thinking about a great set of knives, buy these. They are very well priced and you get outstanding value for your money. .

Shun DMS300 Classic 3-Piece Boxed Cutlery Set (Kitchen) I've been doing research for months, trying to decide which knives I needed, and which brand to get. It finally came down to this set. I placed the order, but when the estimated delivery date was 4-6 weeks away, I started looking elsewhere. Luckily I found a set, for the same price as here, and I didn't have to wait a month. The knives themselves are very comfortable, and sharp as anything I have used. I highly recommend! Shun DMS300 Classic 3-Piece Boxed Cutlery Set (Kitchen) Had a hard time deciding to spend so much money. Glad I did. Have purchased several more. Don't expect to ever use anything else. Buy them you'll be glad you did. ..
