We bought this several weeks ago. The block and knives are very well made, a nice set of items. And they look so nice. BUT ... But these knives are not manufactured in a way to protect the surfaces within dishwashers. You only see this in the little care and use booklet that comes with the product. It says .. We recommend hand wash and dry ... avoid the dishwasher whose humid environment and corrosive chemicals can be damaging to the knives. (I would replace the world Could with WILL .. as rust rapidly appears .. and then this is Florida so when ISN'T it Humid sigh). This little detail should be mentioned as PART of the product description and NOT for after you buy it. We'll be seeking to return these to SAM's ASAP. A product not made for dishwasher use in the 21st Century? That is not a premium product in my mind. And it is a shame as they are well made and look so nice. And all they had to do was treat them like almost everyone else in the modern world does and presto no problems. But it seems all the Henckel products are like this due to laws in Germany.

I really like the set, good quality looks nice and doesn’t take up a lot of room.

Finally knives I can put in the dishwasher. Look great and very sharp.

Great Knives at a Great Price. These are very sharp and well made.
