Customer Reviews

Love It!4
I love these knives. And, I was happy to find the knife to complete my set. Great ease of use and very sharp.

Good knives but be careful4
I bought this set to complement my 13-piece set that I had previously purchased (I had two slots free in my storage block). The 7" Hollow Edge Santoku, however, does not fit into any slot of the storage block. It may fit into the block that comes with the 17-piece set, though. Just be careful as the Santoku is a fairly wide knife.

Customer Reviews

J.A.Henckels Fine Edge Pro 2-piece Santoku Set5
I have used this set since Jan.'08 and am very satisfied. I like the thiness of the blades for slicing meat for Jerky. Requires constant re-sharpening with ceramic diamond rod or a few passes on the Furi diamond "Finger" thing. Made in China of German steel, stamped not forged.

Very satisfied customer5
I am very proud of these knives they are very sharp they slide right throw vegetables real easy. The price was excellent. I wanted the Rachael Ray Knives but they were to expensive these are less expensive and a good quality. I will recommend these knives to everyone to buy!

Great for the price4
To call me an amateur chef would be an insult to amateurs, so I didn't want to spend a lot on knives. Getting two Santoku knives for $20 seemed like a great deal for Henckels (even the ones made in China), so I bought them. I use the 5" knife pretty much everyday and I do not have a single bad thing to say about its performance. It slices through everything from meat to bread to veggies with ease. The only negative I have had with these knives is the blade was a little off center when they arrived, but a couple quick passes with the sharpener and that was remedied.

Amazon.com Review
This set of four 4-1/2-inch steak knives benefits from J.A. Henckels's 260 years in the cutlery business. They're made from high-grade, rolled stainless steel, produced using Henckels's own Sintermetal Component Technology. This process allows different grades of steel to be combined to form a single integral piece capable of withstanding extreme stress--each part of the knife is made from the grade of steel with the optimum characteristics for that component. Cutting edges feature a specially designed serration pattern, ensuring prolonged sharpness without resharpening. The full-length tang (meaning the metal continues all the way through to the end of the handle) gives you a better-balanced and stronger knife. The polypropylene handle with rustproof rivets is nearly indestructible. It's dishwasher-safe, but be careful that the blade doesn't touch other objects; hand washing is recommended to keep steel blades scratch free. --Doree Armstrong


Customer Reviews

A Sharp Item For The Table5
My old steak knives were flimsy and worn so when I shopped for new ones I wanted knives that were solidly made by a top-rated company like Henckels. The price was right so I bought two sets. I think I should have bought 3 sets. They are always sharp and my guests remark on the quality of the knives at meals. I even use them sometimes when I am doing prep work. These would be a great gift item too.

Nice set of knives5
This is a nice set of steak knives. I am not an advocate for serrated knives, but these knives are great. Henkels in my opinion is loosing their place in the knife business while progressively lowering their quality with inferior lines. I would prefer to have high carbon. Regardless of this, I purchased two sets. Stainless is probabally more practical though as you can dish wash with other silverware. Good feel knives and truly sharp. Rate at 4.5 to 5 stars.

Good Knives5
The knives are easy to hold. Handles are thick. The serated portion of the blade is small and at the tip. This takes some getting used to. Once accomplished, the knives are great. I ordered a second set.

Customer Reviews

Outstanding Knives at an Outstanding Price!5
I had been looking for an affordable, serrated santoku knife for a long time, but I was too chicken to just go out and buy one and be disappointed, so I read reviews. Billions of reviews! I finally settled on these J.A. Henckels Eversharp knives. They came in a 2-pack, and I found them at Bed Bath & Beyond (love that store!). I couldn't be happier with them!! I've had them for about 2 years now, and they are still as sharp as the day I got them. I use them often. They are comfortable to use, and they are awesome for slicing tomatoes and other thin-skinned fruits & veggies, as well as meat. They've gone into the dishwasher many, many times (top rack), and I haven't seen them rust at all! I would buy these again in a second!

Also, if you get them at Bed Bath & Beyond, be sure to use a $5 off $15 coupon, and that'll knock your cost down to only $15 for both knives!!

High-quality knives at a stellar price! Thank you J.A. Henckels!!

A great value. Reading's a skill....4
Let me start by saying "reading is a skill." The sizes of these two knives are great. They seem to respond well do dishwasher cleaning, which is good. My only issue with the knives is that they have serrations on them; so they don't cut 100% smoothly. I didn't read well, so I wasn't expecting the knives to be serrated. They cut well, but I feel on some items (like tomatoes) that you're ripping them a little--rather than cutting. When I think of this type of knife, I expect a smooth--not serrated--blade

Despite that, I have fully enjoyed this addition to our knife set.

they get the job done!5
I wanted low-cost, no-maintenance knives that get my food cutting done (melon/squashes/potato etc) --THESE FIT THE BILL! I'm very happy with this purchase.

A Cutting edge4
This the best steak knife set I have ever owned. A welcome addition to the dining experience. It does have a small serrated edge. (not big teeth)
and cuts through steaks and chops effortlessly. Feels very good in the hand. Not bulky at all and attractive too. This JA Henckel's makes the grade.

Slice and dice in a breeze5
This is a very sharp pair of knives. Perfect for any small jobs you may have. My husband loves these knives. They are about the only thing he uses to cut food items in the kitchen. They are a must for any steak lover. You will not be disappointed with their quality or price.

Made in Thailand4
These are decent knives, but they are made in Thailand, they are extra shiny and look to have a chrome cover or something. The price is fairly low and the serrated edges are really sharp. The knives do the job, but they do not reflect the quality of my other Henckel knives.

Customer Reviews

Worth it!5
Having been fascinated by all the hype over the hollow edge knives, I did my homework and picked this 2 knife set to try. After using these knives and in particular the 5" knife I understand what the rave is about. The control and shape of the knife allows for very precise cutting and slicing. From meat to vege's the 5" knife has a very light yet accurate feel. Being only 5" long the knife isn't meant for large items, but I have already ordered the 7" version. My wife uses the paring knife for almost all her light daily activites.

If you are a novice to better cutlery, Henckels makes very high quality items and in my opinion, is an excellent value. I already own a full set of Wusthoff and frankly am not sold on the brand. This 2 knife set, a 8" chefs knife, and perhaps the 7" hollow edge would be what I would pick to start a collection of good knives.

Henckels 2 piece knife set5
I am so glad I bought this set. I thought about some more expensive knives, some recommended by "famous" chefs, but this set along with the bread knife are all I need in my kitchen. The handles are well balanced. Not too heavy, not too light. Everything about this set, IMHO, is just about perfect.They cut like thru butter, the handles are designed to fit into my hands just right. I really love them.

The favorite knives in my kitchen5

We have mostly the traditional blade Wusthof classic forged knives in our kitchen, but we got this Henckels Santoku set as a gift about a year ago. Almost immediately they became our favorite knives. We find the larger one is the more useful if you're getting them separately.

This three-piece set of knives benefits from J.A. Henckels's 260 years in the cutlery business. The 8-inch chef's knife is a popular all-around knife for slicing and chopping, while the 5-inch utility knife will easily slice and dice smaller items, and the paring knife is great for peeling apples or slicing potatoes. They're made from high-grade, rolled stainless steel, produced using Henckels's own Sintermetal Component Technology.

I'm Glad I Got 'Em4
Very nice knives for the price. Weighted well, attractive and comfortable to hold. I'm satisfied with the sharpness and quality. I did notice that they tend to spot if left to air-dry, so I hand wash & dry them right away.

A great basic knife set!5
I bought these knives as a starter kit and they really do a great job! I use each piece extensively and for someone who is just starting out, do not see an immediate need for additional knives. They are easy to handle, great value for the money (especially since they are J.A. Henckels!) and cut anything and everything well. There is no need to shop around some more if you are looking for a good set of basic knives-- buy these.

Amazon.com Review
Classic three-rivet handles with full tangs distinguish Pro S knives from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. That styling, combined with admirably thin blades, results in these knives being a bit heavy in the handle. The blade backs are ground, a touch found only in the finest steak knives. They'll slice a steak into precise bites while contributing class to the table. These knives may be placed in the dishwasher, but hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

My fiancé is jealous.5
Oh, dear God, I love these knives. Their weight in your hand is hefty without being tiring. The blades are sharp, precise, and easy to handle. And do they slice? I mean -- and do they SLICE!!!

After each meal, I hand-wash these instruments and give them a quick touch of the sharpening stone. I then gently, very gently, place them back into their case for safekeeping. Is it any wonder my fiancé is jealous?

I do have one complaint -- I only have four of these knives. I'm going to need at least eight more for the grilling I plan to do next summer. I mean, it's going to take a big patio party to properly show off these fine blades.

Best knives ever5
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.

Great set for the essentials!4
I picked up a santoku twin select blade along with this set and I have to say, it takes care of almost 95% of the kitchen duties that I have needed thus far! I much prefer the full metal handle of the twin select line, but since these have the same shape, it's really still quite natural to hold the knife either full on the handle, or choked up with fingers on the back of the blade for chopping and other detailed cutting tasks. The sharpening steel is a nice bonus too! Great heft (you don't really lose much heft compared to the all metal twin select line) and very much a fantastic-use-it-everyday kind of knives!

Very sharp and well weighted5
I've had these knives 3 months now and use it daily as I cook a lot at home. They are very sharp and quite heavy though well balanced. Someone with a smaller hand or less beefy arms might find them a tad too big and heavy and might want to look at Global knives. However, these have been great for me and the missus making light work of cutting roast, vegetable etc. A sharp set of knives is a must and these will last a lifetime.

The Best Knives I've ever owned5
The knife set is absolutely fantastic! The knives are razor sharps, feel great in the hand, and ring like a tuning fork when sharpened. They look, feel and cut like quality. They hold an edge far longer than I expected, staying sharp for weeks between honing on the sharpening steel. They are a little heavy in the hand, but very well balanced. I highly recommend them. The best knives I've ever owned.

Way better then I expected5
Don't know if it was because my old steak knives were 20 plus years old or these are really that good but I'm very pleased with the way these cut/slice everything. Well worth the money.

Don't Cut Yourself5
Absolutely pleased with this purchase! I didn't realize how bad my other steak knives were until I got these. They feel substantial, yet are lighweight and ergonomic. I could not believe how well they slice through my constantly overcooked meat! Now...if these knives could just cook for me.

I would not be scared of the price of this item. You will end up using them for years and get a great return on the investment!
