Henckels Solution 2-Pc Santoku Knife Set, Razor-Sharp, German Engineered

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 first being used successfully, it pretty much still would have been a great deal! ;-) As it turned out, they're a bit better than that - a good bit better. The five inch knife is my wife's new go to favorite and while I often use it as well 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. Actually, the smaller size makes them better suited for some jobs than the larger, more traditional knife. If, as I hope and now somewhat expect (after regularly using them both for awhile), these 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 consider our eight inch chef's knife to be the best knife we own, to me, the Santoku style, with it's much straighter edge, actually has many advantages over the 'standard' knife, particularly with some vegetables. Both are 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 with these 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. 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 fell to pieces the first time they did any serious work. They didn't. :-) We love 'em!

Been using Henckels knives for many years and they last for years. I did not have this style of knife so I went ahead and bought this set. They are quite lightweight but sharp. They are not a professional grade knife by any means but for random use, they work fine.

Bought these as a gift for my son and he's raving about them. Great value for the price for a wonderfully sharp, versatile kitchen knife.

So far so good. I’ve been happy this night for around 2-3 months and they still sharp

Love this set. It's very sharp and makes cooking so easy to slice and dice.

I purchased because they are Henckels. In my first review I said these were like Dollar Store knives. After some blade work, that was a bit harsh. They were not overly sharp out of the box, which is frustrating as I keep our knives very sharp. Afterall, brand new knives should be sharp. The smaller knife was okay but the larger one had about 4 inches in the middle of the blade that was slightly sharper than a butter knife. After a fair amount of work on the blades, they are very effective and are holding their edge well. For reference, I cut all vegetables on an end grain teak wood cutting board. The large blade has become the go-to for vegetables. Don't be afraid to make the purchase, but be prepared to sharpen them upon arrival. Once sharp, vegetables don't stand a chance.

Great knife for my kitchen daily use. Dishwasher safe & no rusting! Durable & lightweight, with good quality.

Best knives for the price!

Use it less than a year Seldom use, < 1x a week And it already rusty

Well worth the effort if you are looking for a good knife
