Cutlery Reviews

This knife is very high quality and is especially good for slicing through ham, etc... I would highly recommend it.

I think the title says it all. For a more detailed review see my posting under "Henckels International Eversharp Pro 7-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set with Block". The micro serrations are a boon and a bane.

This is a great boning knife. It's very flexible so it makes it easier to go around bones of chicken and meat, also works great to fillet a fish. It's not at all heavy, so your hand doesn't get tired after a while. It's also a great price. If you're looking to buy a boninge, knife, this is the one.

The Twin Select series is fantastic and deserves to be the highest line in the Henckels family. This set is perfect for the beginner sushi enthusiast (me). If you have tried to cut a sushi roll with a standard chef's knife you know how hard it is to get a nice straight cut through the roll.

The handles on these knives are superb, ESPECIALLY if you have large hands (me again). The Twin Select line is expensive so buying one of these knives is a careful consideration for most of us. The only reason I didn't give this set a 5 is because I would like to have seen the twin select filet knife rather than the pairing knife alongside the santoku knife.

Simply feels good to cut with!

Be it chicken or some other meat product, nothing chops better than this Santoku cleaver. I love it - very handy to have.

this knife has the similar feel, heft, and shape as the fancy German stuff but at something like 20% of the price!! OK ...
the finish is not super clean, but get one of the pricey knives and use it hard for a few years and it won't look perfect anymore either. the blade itself has a smoother radius for proper rocking motion than many of the more expensive knives. the blade is not highly polished, but i feel that is an advantage. i have used enough of the highly polished blades to know that many "wetter" vegetables (like zucchinis) tend to cling to the polished blades. they don't cling as much to the farberware blade. The blade also took a wonderful edge with just a few strokes of a ceramic sharpener and stayed sharper than its German brethren.
all in all, cost less, performs better than stuff costing 3X-5X as much. just not quite as pretty.

One of the nicest things about this marble cheese board is that you can also slice fruits, such as pears or apples on it without fear of harming the board.

Plus, the 8" size is practical for a buffet or an end table if that is where you choose to offer it.

Attractiveness isn't forgotten as the handle of the accompanying knife matches the board.

It would make a welcome bridal or hostess gift.

These aren't the most durable, but they do last through quite a few uses. The colors are cheerful, and they work fine. Their thin shape makes them easy to store. You can even curl them in your hands to make a sort of funnel to easily dump the chopped food into a pot. Nice item, and a bargain. And you can clean them in the dishwasher.

Recommended, but with these limitations: (1) Because they are so thin, you don't want to put anything hot onto them -- they will warp. (2) Because they are so light, they can slide around the counter. These limitations eventually made me switch to much more expensive, thick, rubber-footed cutting boards -- but only after a long period using these with good results.

The knives are great. Watch out, though. They are packaged in a set of four, but, I think they were sold as singles. Each knife has a SKU super-glued on the blade. I can attest to the sharpness as I just cut myself. I'm sure the occasional T-bone will be no problem.

I am not a gourmet cook. I have no need for anything real fancy but I wanted a good Knife set. This one is perfect for the average user. It contains all the necessary knives needed for everyday cooking. The mincer thing is slightly lame. Everything sticks to it and you have to keep wiping the food down to get it minced. My press'n'chop works better for that purpose. Aside from that one tool the rest of the set is great. They are all nice and sharp and the wood black is nice looking. Another good quality is that the blades run through the handle. This is very important, as I've had a large knife break free from it's handle before and I almost cut myself.

I reccommend this set!
