J.A. Henckels 8 Piece Stylus Block Set Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice Knife set
Comment: This is a nice set of knives. I purchased them for show more than anything. My entire kitchen is stainless steel and I purchased this set to sit on the counter and look good with everthing else. What I found when I started to use them was that they are nice quality and hold an edge. Looks and quality, great combination.

Summary: bad Chinese product
Comment: As usual, nothing is good from China. How could J.A. Henckels get dull after a few weeks of use. Just like the pistol in the "Dark Knight" movie. Don't buy them. Spend a little more bugs for real J.A. Henckels (Germany) and true investment.

Summary: Great deal for the price!
Comment: I bought this set as a Christmas present, but had to check it out before I wrapped it. I have a Henckels block and some Henckels knives as well, both the cheaper Chinese "International" and some more expensive German ones as well. The "International" Henckels knifes I have are wooden-handled, poorly balanced, flimsy and somewhat poorly made. I wanted to be sure that these knives didn't suffer from the same deficits before gifting.

I was quite pleased to see that this set of knives greatly exceeds the quality of the cheaper Henckels knives I own, and approach the quality of some of my most expensive knives. They are well balanced, sturdy, well-made and beautiful. The grip seems like it would be of no concern to me (some other reviewers have pointed out that the stainless grip offers little purchase) but I didn't use them for any cutting work.

Overall, I am jealous, and tempted to buy another set for myself. Just not sure the wife would permit two blocks on the kitchen counter. This set is a steal at twice the price.

Summary: Excellent Knife Set
Comment: This knife set is well constructed and has a nice weight to it. The only downfall is that it is missing slots for the set of steak knives that are sold separately.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Mediocre
Comment: These knives are OK. For their price, they're actually decent. But these are, after all cheap, stamped knives. Expect to toss them after a year, and expect to sharpen them often, but not in a sharpener for nice knives.

The block is surprisingly good-looking. The set as a whole goes very well in my super modern kitchen. I plan to keep using the block with nicer knives.
