HENCKELS Solution Razor-Sharp 2-pc Knife Set, Santoku Knife 5 Inch, Santoku Knife 7 Inch, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery, Stainless Steel

If these two knives (we took advantage of the 5 and 7 inch Santoku Chef Knife two-for deal) were to fall to pieces the minute after being used until they normally needed honing again to maintain their edge, it pretty much still would have been a great deal! TThe five inch knife is my wife's new go to favorite and I quite like the seven inch knife, which I find almost as good at food prep as our eight inch Henckel-Zwilling chef's knife costing considerably more. If, as I hope and now somewhat expect (after regularly using them both for awhile), the two knives prove to be as easy to keep sharp as their much more expensive, 'pedigreed' eight inch cousin, I think this could be just about the best buy in kitchen knives I've ever made! While I do still consider our eight inch chef's knife to be the best knife we own, to me, the Santoku knife, with it's much straighter edge, actually has some advantages over the 'standard' knife occasionally, particularly with some vegetables. They're very useful kitchen tools that I like quite a bit, and considering how little they cost, my wife and I are very glad to have them.A genuinely "good" knife should, in my opinion, be easy to keep sharp over the course of it's entire lifespan, the length of which should match or exceed my own. Whether that proves to be the case still remains to be seen, but they already have proven themselves useful and valuable additions to our collection of better kitchen tools and I suspect they will remain so for some time to come, hopefully from now on. Already, my wife and I are totally happy with our purchase and given the extremely low cost, I don't really see how we could think this wasn't a great buy, even if, as I jokingly mentioned earlier, they fall to pieces the first time the blades need normal maintenance. We love 'em! :-)

This knife set is fantastic! The blades are super sharp and make chopping and slicing so easy. They’re lightweight, well-balanced, and comfortable to use, even for longer prep sessions. Great quality for the price and easy to maintain—highly recommend for any beginner home cook!

I've owned a set of Henkel knives for years now and find them to be a good brand for the home, holding their edge and reasonably easy to maintain. I liked the style of these knives which did not come with the original set purchased. The knives are rather lightweight but comfortable to handle and prefered for some preparations. The blade is narrow but does not bend in use allowing safe straight cuts. I was surprised however, the pair of knives purchased, were not very sharp in my eyes and required sharpening before use, thus the reason for the 4 stars. I like my knives razor sharp and use wet stones and leather strop or buffing wheel to keep them that way. This is a preference of mine in food preparation and I also hand wash, dry and store these knives horizontally in a wood block soon after use to protect them and prolong the edge.

Very sharp and hold their edge ! Be careful and don't cut your self ! This set is a great value .

Invest in good knives. They will help you be a better cook. Quality knives are a huge part of cooking in the kitchen. Bought these for my daughter’s first apartment just to get her started. She loves them! Add them to a block as you get more knives or keep them on their own. You can’t go wrong with these!

I have bought this brand of knife before and I probably should have known the “you get what you pay for” adage, however I thought it just might be a great deal. It wasn’t. These knives are quite sub-par. Not sure how the brand name can possibly stand behind this product.

We needed a few extra knives to round out our collection but these are now our favorites. Very light, cuts well, easy to handle and very comfortable to use. These would make a great gift!

I purchased them to give em a shot because they are Henckels. I should have known better. You get what you pay for. I was not expecting a 100 dollar knife set but these are like Dollar Store knives. The smaller knife is sharp but the larger one had about 4 inches in the middle of the blade that was slightly sharper than a butter knife. The blades are extremely light and thin like a fillet knife. I would not buy them again.
