"We cook a lot and these knives ... are like cutting through butter. I would highly recommend them," said one home chef.
"I've coveted my grandmother's Henckels knives ever since I learned how to cook properly and understood the value of quality steel," shared a fan. "The knives are weighty, sharp and well-balanced, making them a pleasure to use."
"There is nothing to dislike about these knives," gushed another. "They are lightweight and easy to use. They stay sharp for a long time and cut food like it's softened butter. They clean easily, just be careful when washing them. They are extremely sharp and if you even slightly bump the blade it will cut you."

Never feel like you're sawing through a piece of meat again, thanks to this sleek steak knife set. The stain- and rust-free blades were crafted with long-lasting sharpness in mind.
Now, to be fully transparent, we've yet to see this set retail for its list price of $345. That being said, one quality knife can cost as much, if not more, than this entire 15-piece collection — and at $113, you're getting it for within $3 of its lowest price all year. (It's often on sale for around $150.) Not bad for a knife set with over 13,000 five-star ratings to back it up. Oh, and these blades also topped our list of the best knives and knife sets, as tested by professional chefs.
The handles are curved to fit comfortably in your hand, and their stainless steel blades let you make even, precise, paper-thin cuts with ease. The knives were designed to be lightweight and easy to clean, plus the blades are stain- and rust-free, so you can wash them by hand or throw them in the dishwasher without worry (though one reviewer noted the color of the handles fading).
Each set comes with an 8-inch chef's knife, a bread knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 3-inch paring knife and six steak knives. You'll also get a sharpening steel, a pair of kitchen shears and a stylish wooden block to store everything in.
Choppers — sorry, shoppers — say these knives actually make cooking easier and safer.
"Finally sharp (and safe) knives," said one. "I have been used to ordinary knives until my brother, who is a chef, convinced me to upgrade to Henckels. I must admit, I was a bit nervous at first, worrying about cutting myself, but the grip on these knives keeps my hands from slipping. They are extremely sharp and do a great job in the kitchen."
Another wrote, "These knives are easy to hold and are comfortable in your hand. ... They're by far the best knives I've ever used. They bring the quality, durability, comfort and versatility you would expect from a premium knife set."
"As a food industry professional with a culinary degree, I would definitely recommend this set for home use," shared a kitchen expert. "These Henckels knives are the best set I've had for use at home ... They are sturdy, easy to hold and cut like a dream!"
This reviewer noted that the set isn't exactly a space-saver. "The only downside is the block, which takes up a lot of room on the counter," they shared. That said, they called it a "great set of knives" and went on to say: "We use them every day. We like the weight of the handle and how easily they cut different foods."
Some users experienced difficulties when putting them in the dishwasher. "My only complaint is they are supposed to be dishwasher-safe," wrote a final fan. "The first couple times I used them, I washed them by hand. When I finally decided to put them in the dishwasher, the black on the handles faded. I would definitely recommend these, but I would not put them in the dishwasher."
