The knives themselves are good but they instantly have started to rust. I have a set of much cheaper k Ives that don’t even rust. Very disappointed that this stainless steel set has rusted like it is.

These knives have major water spotting after one wash, avoid them, these knives are pretty pieces of crap. Look at other reviews on line about these knives spotting, its a sister company of Zwilling, and it doesn't matter anyway, if it says stainless it better be stainless!

Never, and I mean NEVER have I had a knife set RUST on me!  This is completely unacceptable. $150 for rusting “German” stainless steel.  It doesn’t matter if these are hand washed are washed in the dishwasher, they are all rusting on the blade and on the handles!

This is a great knife set! Have had these for a month now and they are a good weight and super sharp. They cut through raw meat and veggies easy. Not quite like butter but for the price range is great! . The only thing I can complain about is you have to dry them immediately after washing. They rust pretty easy, so try to dry as soon as possible!

I thought I had good knives till I received these. I’ve always struggled to cut tomatoes. I’ve tried many different knives and they just made a squishy mess. I just assumed all knives just couldn’t cut tomatoes perfectly. I cut a tomato that was already too ripe and it cut it perfectly. No squishy mess. I love the block it keeps them organized and sharpened. It’s also sharp looking. I get compliments all the time. The quality is excellent. german steel, which I like since I have broken several knives in half. There is also a wide range of knives. The serrated one slices through bread without tearing. I love to cook so these are going to make cutting much faster and easier. I wish I had these years ago. My daughters love to cook so I will be purchasing these for them. These will make great house warming or bridal gifts. The only thing is to be careful when washing them, there extremely sharp.

Appear to be near commercial grade knives. Maybe takes up a little too much room for kitchens in average home. We haven't used them enough yet to tell if they will keep their edge. Seem to be heavy duty. Don't know if a master chef would use them, but certainly a corner diner in mid-sized city would find them useful. Price was good too. This was a present for my wife, she asked for a new knife set. The funny part is our 17 y/o granddaughter and I do most of the cooking right now. Maybe my wife plans to get back in the kitchen in 2024. She has some really cool recipes.

I have had the same knife block for the last 20 years. Recently upgraded to this set. Wow, what a nice knife set/block. Handles are stainless, blades are German steel, block is a self sharpening and it’s got a sleek modern look. Blades are super sharp and it’s a night and day difference in the kitchen. Priced at a great value for a 13 piece set with a self sharpening block, and it’s a quality Henckel product. So far I’m very pleased!!!

I loved the idea of having a lasting set of stainless steel knifes, but when they arrived one of them already had a rust spot on it. After using them for about a week 2 more started having the same problem. I did not put them in the dish washer, only hand wash. I had very high hopes for this brand a lot of friends recommended. But Im definitely returning them to buy something else.

Knives rusted after a couple weeks of usage.

Terrible it started to rust after 1 wash
