HENCKELSForged Premio 8-inch Bread Knife, Black/Stainless Steel

I have been reviewing the Henckel’s knives the last few days as I sorted out our needs here in the kitchen. The Premio line is really the best value for money in a non-pro kitchen. They are a sturdy, nicely weighted, ergonomically-made style of kitchen knives. This particular bread knife I had exchanged for a more “economy” version I originally purchased, and I made the right decision…it’s ultra sharp. I am not afraid of it slipping off a crusty bread. And it now completes my set of what will be frequently used knives in our busy home kitchen

Really! I was hesitant to purchase this because it was inexpensive, but I’m so glad I did. My husband and I both describe it as “A JOY to use!”. I have much more expensive knives that are very nice. But this - noticeably better every time we use it. Highly recommend!

Bread slices like butter

Sharp, nice size, and well made. Great bread knife

I recently bought the Henckels Forged Premio Knife Set but it was missing a couple knives I wanted, namely a serrated bread knife and a non-serrated utility knife. What a fantastic knife! I can't say enough good things about it! For years I used a cheap set of kitchen knives because I just didn't want to spend the money on a decent set. After using these, I wish I had taken the plunge sooner. They make prep work a joy!Henckels makes a few less expensive sets but they're not forged, which was a deal breaker for me. This was the least expensive set of forged knives that I could find, and they did not disappoint. They are just the right weight and feel solid in my hands. They are razor sharp too, I've never cut with anything like them. Plus, they're dishwasher safe.Highly recommended!

Henckels is an international brand, but from my experience there are 3 informal "Grades":1) "Made In Germany"2) "Made In India"3) "Made In China"The quality and price scale accordingly. The knife I got was a "Made In India" variety, which serves my needs well. The knife itself looks nice, is a good weight, and can cut bread. I'm happy.

Love it

Even Crocodile Dundee would say this was a nice knife. You can feel the quality in your hand. And while it’s still relatively new to me, I expect to have many years of use of it.
