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!

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!!!

Knives rusted after a couple weeks of usage.

Terrible it started to rust after 1 wash

Rust spotting after one wash!

These knives are not only great to cut with but they are beautiful to look at too. The stainless handles go great with my appliances. I love the self sharpening function and the Diamond handle for grip. They

This such a nice high quality knife set. It has a built in knife sharpener which my husband loves. It is about the same size as my old knife block set so it fits perfectly in the same spot. They cut so smoothly.

Excellent!!! Love tis block and all that comes with it. I love how every time I use a knife and put it back it sharpens itself. No more dull knives to deal with. The block itself is nice and sleek. It is black so it goes with everything. All the knives are also well balanced

Love this knife set! The knives are full tang, very very sharp with a nice weight to them. They are very easy to use and make it so nice to slice up almost anything. Had a mismatched set of Henckels that I had been using for years and finally decided to splurge on a complete set. I am really glad I did.

I love these knives. They are very sharp. I like that they get sharpened every time that you take them out to use them. I like that handles are easy to grip. The block that holds the knives is slender. The kitchen scissors are nice and don’t hurt when using them. I also like that the block has the names of the knives so you know what you are using.
