Chef Knives Reviews

Well, I bought this set without researching the difference between international set and real set from Germany.The kifves were rather dull, and its cheap price indicated its quality. I regret to jump up and bought the set at the department store.I am aware of how expensive the products from Germany, although it would be worth collecting the knives from REAL henckels!

It would be a great knife set by just about any other manufacturer, but it's disappointing for a set with the Henckels name. The steak knives seem like a cheap afterthought. There aren't slots for them in the knife block and they seem to be poorly made in comparison with other Henckel's products. They're akin to butter knives with a serrated edge and are very awkward for cutting steak(for which they are intended). The rest of the knife seems to be up to par with what I expected of a lower priced set from Henckels.

VERY NICE, sharp, nice looking, for the price this is a very good find, they look lovely and cut flwalessly.
from the cook knife to the paring knife, will do excellent job.

The Kasumi 8" Chef's knife has been backordered since January 2004. It's April 12 and I still have not received the product. While waiting for the knife, I got impatient and bought a 8" Contemporary Chef's knife from Calphalon - it is truly amazing. I am very impressed by the quality of the construction - full forged, full tang German steel. And it's got a comfort-grip handle that's etched to save time and wear and tear when I pull it out of my knife block. This knife is a no-brainer. You should buy one for yourself and all your friends.

I ordered this knife on January 30 and STILL have not received it. It is not worth the wait. I highly recommend that you choose another product.
