Steak Knives Reviews

I hesitated to buy these because the press was so good.
All the really good knief sets are expensive aren't they? In a word NO!
These are great.
Sharp, they seem to be holding the edge, diswasher safe so far, and
they look good to.
I may buy a second set, I use these for every thing from cutting pbj to
the toughest cuts of meat.

this is great knife set that is highly functional, durable and a cost effective solution. they are also stylish enough for display. i have the whole cutlery set and this was a good addition.

I love Henckel knives, and I expect a lot out of them.

I paid 80$ for this set and I was dissapointed. The blade is a little thin. The handle is a bit small. The finish on the blade was a little rough.

These knives are manufactured in Spain, not in Germany and it shows. For 80$ you can find better knives than these.

These knives are excellent quality. The blade molded up into and through the handle gives it a very sturdy cutting action. There's no flexing this blade when your cutting at an angle. This is a wonderful item and matchs our Pro S knives very well. We bought a dozen of them so we usually have enough to go around. I know they should last a lifetime because they are such good quality and I like them so much.

Most importantly, you can buy 2 sets (8 knives) for less than the cost of one set of the Pro S (1 knife). Although the steel used to make these does not seem to hold an edge as long as the Pro S series, they do take an edge nicely. I have a larger block full of Pro S knives, and these look nearly identical, with full tang and bolster. Personally, I feel more comfortable letting guests use knives in this price range.

I have been wanting a Henckel bread knife for some time, and even had it on my Christmas list, but no one took the hint. When I came across this one for $9.99 at Amazon I was very skeptical, but after reading the other reviews I decided to order it. When it arrived I immediately opened the box to check it out. I found it to be a good size, feels good in my hand, is very well weighted, and after washing and drying it, put it to the test. I sliced into a tomato, and it worked beautifully----I can make very thin slices without smushing. Then, I peeled and sliced a grapefruit with it---lovely. I still haven't used it on bread, but will as soon as I have time to make some crusty peasant herb bread or a loaf of focaccia. I have made a gazillion purchases from Amazon, everything from books to phones, toys, cutting boards, flatware, videos, yoga mats, all kinds of goodies, but have never felt compeled to write a review until now. That should tell you how much I love this knife. I did not give it five stars only because I assume the German made version must be superior---but then look at the cost. This is one of my happier purchases from Amazon. If you would like a great bread knife to use on bread, slice sandwiches, tomatoes, fruit, etc., get this one. For ten bucks it's a steal. And if you should see bread knife on someone's wish list, give them this one.

I bake bread on the average of three times a week. With my old bread knife I could never slice the bread while it was still hot because it would just mash it down and the dough would stick from crust-to-crust. This baby slices right through the bread hot out of the machine like a hot knife through butter. With this knife you can slice the bread as thin as you like and you will have beautiful, even slices at a terrific price!

This knife is very sharp and has a comfortable grip. It is well balanced and feels solid and substantial but not too heavy. I received my Pro 8-Inch Bread knife as a gift with a block set, out of all 12 knifes in this set this is my favorite one. It goes through a freshly baked loaf of bread without any effort, no squeezing or crumbs. My knife is made in Tailand out of shiny stainless steel (not that high carbon steel that is impossible to sharpen) and it doesn't require sharpening. I wash it in a dishwasher and it seems to do fine. I highly recommend it.

I have a Henckels block with a varied assortment of 11 knives but the 4 slots in the bottom for the steak knives remain empty. Though I have a complete set minus steak knives of the much higher quality 4 stars, I bought this exact same steak knife set from a grocery store chain locally in town for the same price it is listed here on Amazon thinking "what a great deal for Henckels knives!". I'd been looking for a good deal on a set of Henckels steak knives knowing that at any knife shop you could expect to pay upwards of 2 hundered for them.

After unpacking them from the box and cooking up a steak I found that these knives are only slightly better than a plastic untensil available free from a Boston Market. After two cuts into my meal I abandoned the so called Henkels steak knife for the 4" paring knife in my block. I will tell you that they look nice, but in my mind the image was severely cheapened by my attempt to find any kind of good use for them (other than give to people I dont like that are over for dinner!). They pretty much just float around in the standard utensil drawer with the forks and spoons now. I think 2 of them are even lost. Another thing I want to add is someone left one over the weekend in the bottom of the stainless steel sink and it rusted on the bottom and left a rust knife outline where it sat.

I read most of the other reviews on here and noticed a good portion are favorable. I just wanted to share my experience with this product and let you decide what you think based on all the facts. In my opinion, these are only Henckels knives in name and not quality.

Conclusion: A great wedding gift for your EX that gets married to someone else.

Despite another reviewer's experience, these knives are quite sharp. To compare them to plastic cutlery is ridiculous -- either the reviewer was being facetious or has an axe to grind for some reason. Notice that that review mentions that the buyer picked up his set for the same price as Amazon but at his local grocery store. How he knows that he even bought this same set of knives is beyond me.

So, I'll repeat: These knives are sharp. I don't find the handle particularly comfortable, but it's okay. My set arrived looking brand new -- no scratches.

Good value for the money.

I've used these knives before, and also a higher end line of steak knives made by Henckels. To be honest, both seem to cut steak perfectly fine. I do like the single piece construction of these knives over the higher end models, and they cost about half the price. I keep them in a knife block with my other knives, and I tend to use them for all sorts of small cutting jobs. They make short work of raw veggies as well as cooked steak, and they're a breeze to clean because of the one-piece construction.

The only thing I was disappointed with about this knife is that the silver on the three rivets was chipping off. I noticed this was occuring with some of the other international classic knives as well. I didn't even run them through the dishwasher!People say that if they are Henckels, they shouldn't be doing that!

These are terrible, terrible knives. I returned both sets the day after I tried them. The serrations shred your food instead of cutting it. The handles are very cheap feeling and are not comfortable to use. The tiny serrations also make the knives very difficult to clean and considering the name "Eversharp" they sure didn't seem very sharp. You will be better off keeping that cheapo set you bought at walmart years ago.

These knives have a finely serrated edge that tears at the steak leaving pieces of meat hanging on the edge. They rip the meat rather than slicing. I expected more from Henckels. A waste of money!

These knives are terrible! The eversharp edge is finely serrated and tears the steak leaving pieces of meat hanging on the edges. It rips the food instead of cutting it. I thought the Henckels name would be better than this. Don't waste your money!

I purchased these knives in early June and have used them every couple of days and in just over a month, two knives already have what appears to be rust spots on them. As far as their functionality is concerned, they're pretty sharp and have been able to perform any task I've put them to (however, I have never used them to cut any meat product so I don't know how they handle steaks). I gave them a lower rating due to the fact that they've rusted already.
