These are my FAVORITE kitchen tools!! The knives and scissors are precise and make cutting while cooking a breeze!! Wish I had them sooner!! They are not heavy to the touch and cut through fruits and vegetables with ease!

Extremely sharp, very well made. I know people who have had them about ten years and still love them. Fyi, they must be hand washed.

I seen a lady purchasing this set and she is a Chef. We talked for over 30 minutes and she spoke very highly about the Henckels Diamond Block set! She told me to make sure to DRY them completely before storing them back into the block! I have been using them for over a month now and I LOVE THEM!!!

Originally heard about these from a family friend and when I got to use them I was amazed and decided they this was a very much a need. Knowing and having a knife that never diminishes or goes null, keeps the mind at ease. Truly impressed and strongly recommended it for others or those who are constantly using knives, especially someone who is a novice (like me).

These knives are beautiful! The weight of them makes them feel like great quality that will last a long time. They have a self sharpening feature built into the block that will sharpen as you remove or replace them. The sharpening feature is built in for the knives that dont have serrated edges, so they will stay sharp with no additional effort to sharpen from you. Although they do come very sharp from sams (beware, i cut myself while cleaning one of the knives) they also feature divots in the handles for a "non slip" feel that is comfortable to cut with. The only downside is that they do take up some space on the counter because the block is large by design. Overall i do love the look and feel of this beautiful knife set!

I did not have the knife set for more than three weeks and the large knife just broke off just above the handle.

They are fine. But alot if up keep. Hand wash and dry do not put in dishwasher . Really think they are over priced and not really worth the price.

Knives developed rust spots, disappointed

I was unable to really see the knives or get a feel for them as they were in the box. From the picture on the box, it looked like the blades were not serrated, so I bought them. It turns out most of the blades are serrated, which I don't like at all. Lesson learned.

Getting rusted after you wash
