Utility Knives Reviews

I absolutely love this knife!! I use it to cut vegetables and slice bread. Plus it works very well on meat. Why just last week I was attacked with mine by some man during a break in and let me tell you, it cuts like a beauty. Left me hurting and glad that I had bought two. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone who wants it.

I've been in the market for a mid-sized knife for a while now. My 10-inch chef's knife is too clumsy for some tasks, and my paring knives are too small. Enter the Henckels 6-inch utility blade.

The first thing I noticed was the wood handle -- I much prefer wood to the newer rubbery handles. Also, the heavy back-weighting made it feel quite steady in my hand: I liked the balance. The blade itself is sturdy, shaped like a small version of a chef's knife. And -boy!- is it sharp! This makes trimming small cuts of meat and vegetables very easy. I highly recommend this knife.

This knife is very versitle and extremely well made. It has perfect balance and is razor sharp. Prep work is a joyous experience with it. It stays sharp under heavy use for quite sometime. To maintain its edge, I only have to pass it a few times on each side against a sharpening rod. Its high carbon quality steel blade lends itself perfectly to honing a razor sharp edge that lasts for a long time compared to a stainless steel blade. If you purchase this high quality knife, it's imperative that you have a means to sharpen it to maintain its perfection.

I bought the 7pc. Pro-S block set. This knife was included in that set. As I was admiring my new tools I was utterly suprised to see what looked like a stain at the bolster of this knife. As I looked closer it was actually a small section of pitted steel. As I was looking at this moderately small spot I noticed a pitted crack approximately 1/2 inch in length extending from that spot down toward the point. At the point another pitted area covering approximately 1/8-1/6 of an inche from the tip down the scalloped side of the blade.

Don't get me wrong the Henckels Pro-S is still the best knife you could buy, but I was astounded that quality control missed this defective blade. I thought I would never have to make use of the lifetime warranty (especially 3 days after buying a set). But hopefully the exchange will go just as smooth as these excellent knife cut though food.

This is the perfect knife. I have many, many other knives of various brands including Cutco, and I always find myself reaching for this one. Well worth the price! I always throw mine in the dishwasher and after several years, still no sign of rust.

The Professional S series has been a blessing in our family in the two years since it replaced a set of those cheapo "Never-needs-sharpening" knives.

And the most used knife in the lot is this one, the 5-inch serrated knife. Whether you are slicing a few vegetables, peeling a fruit, or want an ultra-deluxe steak knife of the gods, this is the one.

The Professional S design is a classic that will hold up well over the years.
