are the knives really as good as the reviews claim? I am skeptic and I love to cook and I say a cook is only as good as the tools he/she uses.

I reordered knives for my daughters and close friends. They are excellent and all I use. The chopper is the absolute best!

Hey the price was right and I had Miracle Blade II which I gave to my son when I got the new ones. We use these every day.

I cook every day. I ordered these knives only to be sorely disappointed with the flimsiness and uncomfortable grips. I gave them away to someone starting out on their own, because they are better than nothing, however it is my opinion that these are the worst knives I've ever had the displeasure of using.

I've had them for 5 years with daily use and they haven't lost sharpness. I would love to order a new set, but my current one is still as good as new. Just avoid putting them in the dishwasher to prevent rust.

Pedro, The knife set is very good for fairly inexpensive price. Blades sharpness is exceptional, but very dangerous if not careful while using it. For some cooking tasks my wife prefers less sharp knifes with a straight blade. The stake knifes included in this kit is used by my family on a daily bases and everybody liking them.

I really like my Miracle Blade set. I purchased mine several years ago and they are still going strong. Last year for Father's day, I purchased Henkel steak knives as a gift for my husband and I am being totally honest here, the Miracle blades are so much better with a sturdier blade.

Seems you've gotten lots of answers already...and they are correct. I will say that they are a very easy knife to hold and that they have a good weight to them. I'm extremely pleased with mine. I do hand wash them and dry them right away. They seemed to water spot if left to dry on their own.

All of the comments are true on this knife. I am so pleased with ALL of my Victorinox knives (purchased all new meat processing ones) that I could not be happier with my purchases. I have tried others and they are not the same quality, don't keep their edges long.

The best advise I can give you its a great set, however, if you're looking for a bigger knife than the serrated small steak knives, there is not a bigger version of those...Still, we've had this set for awhile and really love it, all knives, the non serrated ones are all super sharp as well. Hope this helps some...Yoka

I don't think they are the same, bit I don't know what the differences are. I have had these knives for years and they a still perfectly sharp. I don't see why they wouldn't suit a professional kitchen. I prefer these over my wusthof knives I paid triple for.

Yes. Henckel makes some of the best quality knives on the market. They are the knives of choice for the aspiring chefs on Hell's Kitchen. I have given them for gifts and liked them so, that I purchased a set of the steak knives for myself.

LOL, is this a joke? Yes you can and then some, it's a great knife. Wish i had a set of steak knives from them.

They are better than the ever sharp and Walmart knives but are not as thick as the original four star knives. These are four star two and the blades are thinner and lighter. I have a 16 year old four star 6" chefs knife and it is much better quality than these. Check out eBay and you may come across some original four star knives.

yes definitely. I'm a chef of 30 plus years experience. Not 'lifetime' knives, but much easier to sharpen than mid or lower-level knives from high-end brands. Chicago cutlery has always been good.

They cut better than most normal dinner knives. They're not serrated but are quite sharp. Hope that helps!

I bought the knives like 2 weeks ago and they are amazing, they have a lifetime warranty in case the knives dull or are damaged. I bought the knives without the wood block holder but I may end up buying it because they are sharp and could be dangerous to those reaching into draw to get a knife. I read a review that mentioned the back side of the knife (non cutting side) is sharp and I find that yes it is true, if you cut like i do where you put pressure on the back side of the knife as you cut you may find like few slits in your fingers, nothing dangerous though. If your considering getting new knives I would recommend them, they are extremely well priced and cut like no knife that i have had before, hope this helps.

They arrive very sharp. I am ignorant about sharpening but I would imagine an ordinary knife sharpener? Sorry, I am not much help. I collect them more for their beauty, although Case makes great knives.

They are very good knives, very sharp and you can cut/peel quickly. The only thing is my scissors broke within the first month. I love the knives thou!!!

I love those knives and keep them even when they break, wether because I dropped them or use them much for any reason cause I can use them for spare parts... if you didn't lose the part you can fix it youself. I often call these people to report fails too, hopefully they'll improve it... it's a great knive... not perfect though.

My steak knifes started to form rust the first day they were used. I guess if you wash and dry them completely by hand the minute you are done using them, they won't form rust (and it is more than surface rust). I sure hope they sell for 10 bucks at a garage sale. I will be ordering better knives in a few days. To the company...get real, people can't wash and clean them that quick.And they are not as sharp as advertised. I had a 10 year old set of knives from another company, they still don't have rust, but the handles started to break.

J.A. Henckels is one of the best knifes you can buy. The set I bought has a fine serrated edge which I prefer smooth edge. I haven't had any problems with them at all. The hone I bought with them keeps the edges sharp.
