A collection of superior knives perfect for everyday slicing and dicing needs. Each Henckels knife features a hand-honed blade made of Friodur high carbon, ice-hardened, stainless steel. Set includes 4" paring/utility knife, 5" serrated utility knife, 6" utility sandwich knife, 8" chef's knife, 8" carving knife, 7" Santuko knife, 8" bread knife, 5 1/2" boning knife, a pair of kitchen shears, 9" sharpening steel and a handsome hardwood storage block. Covered by Henckels lifetime warranty.
This knife block set carries a useful assortment of standard knives for outfitting a kitchen. The set includes a 2-1/2-inch peeling knife, a 4-inch paring knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 6-inch utility knife, and an 8-inch chef's knife, as well as a 7-inch hollow-edge santoku, an 8-inch bread knife, and a 4-1/2-inch steak knife. A 9-inch sharpening steel keeps their edges in order, and a pair of kitchen shears to snip herbs, flowers, or string is also included. Everything stores neatly in the attractive natural hardwood block.
The knives feature high-carbon, stainless-steel blades that have been stamped from one piece of metal. The edge is cut by laser for a more consistent angle on the blade and hand-honed for sharpness. Blades have also undergone Henckels's Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens them and protects from discoloration. The ergonomically designed traditional-style polymer handles are securely fastened to the balanced full tangs with three rivets. Handles seamlessly encase the tangs on these knives so no food particles can ever become trapped in a gap. Twin Signature knives are all dishwasher-safe (although Henckels recommends washing by hand) and are covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

excellant set of knives:
Very nice set of cutlery i was impressed with how fast it shipped and the quality was very nice the name stands for itself J.A. henckels :) todd
sharp and beautiful:
I had terrible knives before these, so I fell in love right away. The knives are sharp, the sharpening stick woks extremely well to hone it whenever my husband decides he "needs" to sharpen a knife. The knives are so sharp that we have both accidentally cut ourselves while doing dishes. The block for the knives is nice, but I wish I could hang it, like I have seen in some kitchens, under the cabinet. I like that the metal goes all the way through the handle, as it makes me feel like I have a good... more info
Knife and block review:
We bought this set as a Christmas gift to ourselves, because the $10 knife set I bought from Wal-Mart years ago was never very good in the first place and we wanted to stop fighting to cut through food. These knives are fabulous. There is a large variety to choose from, and they all cut through vegetables and meat like butter. I am in love with the knives. I would have given 5 stars, but the one thing I hate about the set is the pre-fab "one size fits all" knife block. I can't stand it. I would... more info
Great quality:
I bought these as a Christmas gift for my dad, and he loves them. They're very sharp, and though I'm no knife expert, they seem like very good quality. The only thing is that the knife block comes with slots for steak knives, so if you don't buy the steak knives in addition to the set, it looks kind of empty. But otherwise I'm very happy with the purchase.
