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.

Knives are not dishwasher safe. After only one time in dishwasher few knives now have rust spots.

Good

I purchased this set of knives about a month ago, and they are starting to develop rust. Don't waste your money.

Rusted within a month. Disappointing

The first week I had them they started rusting ridiculous Now I throw the box now I can’t return them.

Sharp and heavy duty knives

Bought from Sam’s club. Love this set

Bought these on special. First time I sliced lettuce and tomatoes I was amazed. Sliced like butter. Best set I have ever owned.

Very nice quality build. Be careful as they are VERY sharp.
