Chop it, dice it and slice it up with this fine-edge stylus 8-pc. block set from J.A. Henkels International. Each knife has a fine-edge blade and is made of precision-stamped, high carbon stainless steel and has an ergonomic handle, both with a satin finish. The 8-pc. set includes a 3” paring, 5” serrated utility, 6” utility/sandwich, 8” chef’s, 8” bread, 8” carving, 9” sharpening steel and hardwood block. Hand wash. Imported.
Henckels’s International line offers affordable cutlery from one of the world’s most renowned knife manufacturers. The Fine Edge Stylus collection stands out for its ergonomically-contoured stainless-steel handles, giving a kitchen a decidedly modern elegance. This eight-piece set contains the following basics: 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch carving knife, 9-inch sharpening steel, and a graphite-painted storage block.

Constructed of stamped, high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, the knives feature precision-ground, hand-honed blades that slice meat and chop vegetables with aplomb. While not at the same height of excellence as other Henckels cutlery, the Fine Edge Stylus knives feel well-balanced with a noteworthy heft. All pieces store in the included graphite-painted wood block. Made in China, the cutlery is dishwasher-safe yet best washed and dried by hand immediately after use. A lifetime warranty applies. --Ann Bieri

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.

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.

Summary: Good but not a lifetime set
Comment: I sorry I guess a prefer a wood handle because these handles seem to be more slippery when cutting meat or anything greasy.
Aside from that they ARE sharp and a very good set. A bargain for the money. The handles just don't do It for me. May be Perfect for you!
