HENCKELS Solution Razor-Sharp 2-pc Knife Set, Santoku Knife 5 Inch, Santoku Knife 7 Inch, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery, Stainless Steel

I’m a fan of Henckels knives. They hold their edge for a long time. These are really excellent, following the Santoku blade design with grooves on the blade surface to loosen chopped food. These are affordable and of high quality.

Been using Henckels knives for many years and they last for years. I did not have this style of knife so I went ahead and bought this set. They are quite lightweight but sharp. They are not a professional grade knife by any means but for random use, they work fine.

I can’t say enough good things about Henckels knives! When I found this set, I bought it right away, because I know their quality, & the price was fantastic! If you’re not use to sharp knives, be very careful!

Bought these for my elderly parents. Nicely weighted, easy to hold, and sharp. Unfortunately, only a week later there is already some discoloration, looks like they are starting to rust. To be fair, I can't answer for user action/cause; maybe they forgot they were in the sink, who knows, but disappointed that this is already happening so soon. I couldn't clean it off easily either, afraid to take steel wool or harsh chemical cleaner to them. Any metal that starts rusting in a few days, regardless of usage (or misusage) is kinda sketchy to me. My mom has had knives for decades that are still in good condition, if these knives require some extra special handling, I don't think they are meant for regular households, or new cooks, or especially the elderly.

I purchased because they are Henckels. In my first review I said these were like Dollar Store knives. After some blade work, that was a bit harsh. They were not overly sharp out of the box, which is frustrating as I keep our knives very sharp. Afterall, brand new knives should be sharp. The smaller knife was okay but the larger one had about 4 inches in the middle of the blade that was slightly sharper than a butter knife. After a fair amount of work on the blades, they are very effective and are holding their edge well. For reference, I cut all vegetables on an end grain teak wood cutting board. The large blade has become the go-to for vegetables. Don't be afraid to make the purchase, but be prepared to sharpen them upon arrival. Once sharp, vegetables don't stand a chance.

They are razor sharp - love them!

My husband directed me to the Henckel brand knives. BE AWARE: These knives are extremely sharp; therefore extra care is needed to prevent accidents. The handles fit my hand nicely and make short work of any slicing job. These knives are versatile; it slices tomatoes and meats easily.

If these two knives (we took advantage of the 5 and 7 inch Santoku Chef Knife two-for deal) were to fall to pieces the minute after first being used successfully, it pretty much still would have been a great deal! ;-) As it turned out, they're a bit better than that - a good bit better. The five inch knife is my wife's new go to favorite and while I often use it as well I quite like the seven inch knife, which I find almost as good at food prep as our eight inch Henckel-Zwilling chef's knife costing considerably more. Actually, the smaller size makes them better suited for some jobs than the larger, more traditional knife. If, as I hope and now somewhat expect (after regularly using them both for awhile), these two knives prove to be as easy to keep sharp as their much more expensive, 'pedigreed' eight inch cousin, I think this could be just about the best buy in kitchen knives I've ever made! While I do consider our eight inch chef's knife to be the best knife we own, to me, the Santoku style, with it's much straighter edge, actually has many advantages over the 'standard' knife, particularly with some vegetables. Both are very useful kitchen tools that I like quite a bit, and considering how little they cost, my wife and I are very glad to have them. A genuinely "good" knife should, in my opinion, be easy to keep sharp over the course of it's entire lifespan, the length of which should match or exceed my own. Whether that proves to be the case with these remains to be seen, but they already have proven themselves useful and valuable additions to our collection of better kitchen tools and I suspect they will remain so for some time to come. My wife and I are totally happy with our purchase and given the extremely low cost, I don't really see how we could think this wasn't a great buy, even if, as I jokingly mentioned earlier, they fell to pieces the first time they did any serious work. They didn't. :-) We love 'em!

Use it less than a year Seldom use, < 1x a week And it already rusty

They came just as described Very good knives for the price. I would buy them again but these look like they will hold up for a long time

Works wonders chopping through veggies and meats.

GREAT

Good quality as to be expected with henckles. They are a little more light weight than I was expecting but overall satisfied.
